E is for Easter!

Hi, crafting friends, It's time for a new letter Challenge @ the Alphabet Challenge blog!  And A is for Alphabet! (you choose what letter you want to do!) Sound like fun? 

I chose the letter E for Easter. I'm using Blessed Bunnies from Angie Blom Digital Designs for my card. I use a lot of her digital images to create with because they always inspire me.

I colored the image with Caliart markers in soft colors. I used a scallop die cut and added a couple of little white flower gems I found in my stash to finish card.

Thank you for stopping in today! Hop over and see what letters the design team has used to inspire you & join in!

Stay Creative. Tee 🐇

Reverse Emboss/Blackout Technique

Hey crafty friends, here is my second attempt at using the reverse emboss blackout technique. You can see the first try in post below this one. This card did turn out a lot better (still not perfect).  

But I did have fun with this technique & will use it in the future. Inspiration comes from YouTube if you want to give it a go.

Supplies Used:

Delicate Blooms Embossing Folder

Pickled Raspberry Distress Oxide

Mowed Lawn Distress Ink

Stazon Forest Green Ink

Impression Obsession Royal Purple Ink

Yellow Gelly Roll Pen

Stencil Brushes

Blackout Technique

Hey crafty friends, have you heard of the backout technique?

 I hadn't until I spotted a beautifully done blackout card in one of the challenges. Can't remember who it was by... still looking for it. 

This is my first attempt at it. I used Simon Says Delicate Blooms Embossing Folder. 

Not quite blacked out. But I still like the distress look of it! I found the inspiration @ YouTube to make one. 

On for another try! See if I can get it right.

If you have done one let me know so I can visit your blog & see! Thank You. 

Stay Creative Tee

Delicate Blooms

Hi friends, sharing a card using the Delicate Blooms embossing folder that I couldn't run all the way through my Platinum 6 with the "sandwich" suggested. I got 1/4 way through and stopped for fear of breaking the machine. I'm going to purchase Spellbinders Universal Plate System and see how that works. Has anybody purchased it and your thoughts on it?

Anyway, instead of throwing the embossed image out I ran a couple of ink pads over it, and this was the result.

Just thought I would share with you and get your feedback.

Stay Creative. Tee
