Embossing overdrive!!

Christmas is around the corner and the weather is fantastic..nothing to complain about, just hate getting out of those blankets every morning!! So hows life with you all...haven't been posting but have been hopping around to your blogs.
I kind of went overboard on the embossing with this card...its just fantastic to see that powder melting into the beautiful glaze. I went on embossing and forgot to add a sentiment which was my original plan...maybe another card..This card goes for the Simon says Stamp Challenge-Anything goes.


The lack of sunshine makes it tough to get a good pic, but I love how the embossing is shining on this card..and yup, I got my new doily lace punch..its fantastic and one of the best punches I invested in. You're gonna see a lot of this punch..
This card is CASE of a card by Kelly Rasmussen, damn if I can find the link. I loved the combination of grey (or is it gray?) and pink ..

Both the dark pink butterflies are clear embossed with the script background and all three are handcut. I had a different idea in my head about the ribbon..it looks kinda weird..but hey when it comes to ribbons, I'm still on a learning curve..I'm still learning how to tie the perfect knot and bow!! Imagine that!




Couldn't leave without showing you my skinny Christmas tree...Wishing all of you a very happy and merry Christmas...May all your wishes (ahem!! your crafting wishes) come true! :D

  3. Wow! That is a beautiful card and I love the embossing. Have you used the embossing heat gun? The snow in my card is made by mixing equal amount of salt and talcum powder. Then apply fevicol wherever you want the snow to be. Sprinkle generously over it and press witha light hand. Let it dry and then brush off the extra. Hope this will help. Can you again send me your postal address? I think I,ve misplaced it.

  5. A-ha! Learning to tie the perfect bow is a challenge for me too. Just when i think I've got it, the ribbon beats me once again. I've learnt to be happy with imperfect bows. Love the embossing. I havent used my gun yet coz I'm yet to get my step-up transformer (???) thingy, coz mine works only at 110V. Glad to have you back. Missed you!
