Embossing magic- Cards

Hello friends!!! This month's challenge is all about usage of embossing powder in different ways in your projects. There are so many ways in which you can use them, create backgrounds, emboss the image and use watercolors/DI for coloring, emboss resist, over vellum etc. 

Challenge #54

Embossing Magic

             Click here to read challenge guidelines and here for more about this months challenge.

I have made three cards as inspiration for this challenge. For the first card I took a watercolor paper and heat embossed one of the altenew persian motif stamp using golden EP. Then colored it using DIs Worn lipstick and mowed lawn. I slightly water-colored the panel with DI. Matted it over a matching green card base. Stamped the sentiment with black archival ink on a banner. For final touches added some sequins. 

Second card one is a shaker crad.  For this I have heat embossed the same stamp set as used above with white EP, colored with DI's and fussy cut them. Prepared a shaker panel with white CS on a white card base and arranged the embossed flowers on one corner. Added some stickles glitter glue on flowers. The sentiment inside the shaker has been also embossed with mustard color EP. Added some sequins. 

And for the final card I have used stamp set lacy scrolls from altenew. Heat embossed one of the stamp from the set several times on a white card base using glittered black EP. Stamped flowers and leaves on a white CS and fussy cut them. Added some shading using color pencils and glued them over the embossed panel using foam dots to add some dimension. stamped sentiment using black archival ink and finished off with some golden sequins.

A Shaker Card

Hello friends!

This is Tanvi here with my take on Challenge#50.

For my inspiration I decided to go make a card with the "beach" theme. To create the sand texture I added a few drops of Vintage photo reinker to DecoArt Texture sand paste, very happy with the outcome. Do you agree? 

The shaker element of the card is the sea. For this I sprayed a piece of CS with LSG starburst Blue Hawaiian Blue & let it dry. I randomly stamped dotted curves to create the waves (Colorbox Aqua). Some adorable sea creature charms I had in my stash were perfect creatures for the shaker!

And finally this is the full reveal of the card!

Hope I have inspired you today to participate in the current challenge! Hope to see your creations soon!

So lets get started with

 

Lulupu Challenge #46

Love you SWEETS

Twist - Use Red or Pink

(Click here to read the general guidelines)
 

1. Anything goes - so you can make a card, layout, canvas, mini album, 3d project etc.
2. Emphasis on Sweets - use it in the sentiment, title or literally - cupcakes, candies, chocolates..... use your imagination
3. Don't forget the twist - Include Red or Pink in your project. You can use both too if you want.
4. You have until 28 February, 2015 11:55 IST to submit your entries.

 

 Here is my project for you all. Its a valentines themed flip up mini album. The spine is an old photo frame from IKEA. The first page is a cupcake shaker placemat and I have a tutorial on how it was put together.

The first step is to get the layers ready. They have been numbered in the image below, so that its easy for me to explain each one.
1.  Full image x 2 cut out of pearl paper to form front and back of the shaker placemat.
2. Outline x3 chipboard for the inner portion of the shaker, to give depth and form the cavity that holds the sequins.
3. Outline solid x 2 acetate sheets.
All of these were cut using the Silhouette Cameo and I designed it using some free shapes on the internet.

NOTE: The order of assembling the shaker is important.

Full image – acetate – 3xchipboard – acetate – full image

If you want to stamp or colour the full image cut-outs, its best to do so before assembling the shaker. Attach the embellishment later.
Stack-up the three pieces of chipboard and stick them together. Wet glue works well as you can move around the pieces and adjust the alignment.

Here is a close up of the shaker card

The sequins are confined to the shape of the cupcake, so the placemat can be strung through ribbon or rings to bind into a mini. Also, the shaker is identical from front and back.

Here is a front view of all the pages. Didn‘t want to make it a very picture heavy post so decided to take one photo of all pages together. Most of the titles are cut using the Silhouette Cameo. Lots of distressing and layering.

This is the back view of all the pages. Only the second page has wet medium on it. I've mixed gold glitter to 3D gel medium and applied it through a doily stencil, layered some lace, a fabric rose petal and sequins on it. The rest of the pages are just layering die cuts and embellishments
