And that's because I've been playing with my heat tool to create this little number ;-).
This time at Fashionable Stamping Challenges we are playing with embossing - heat or dry, you choose!
As always, one lucky winner will receive a lovely prize from Marina from the Cottage Crafts.
For my card I used Tim Holtz shabby chic papers and the beautiful flower/swirl stamp set is Jumbo Dahlia from Stampendous. The corners of the card are also stamped with the grungy border stamps from Stempelglede.
The flower was heat embossed with a black sparkly embossing powder. Then I coloured it with Inktense pencils and added some highlights with cosmic shimmer water colour paints. The picture doesn't show it well but the flower virtually glows in the sun light.
The tiny butterflies are from the Papermania Urban stamp set.
If you like this card and would like to buy one - it is now available as 'made to order' from my Etsy shop ;-).
Make sure you hop over to the challenge blog and check out what my lovely DT Sisters created as inspiration for your embossed creations. As always - their projects are absolutely stunning and I am so proud to be part of this Design Team!
And if you haven't done it yet - check out my sweet 2nd Blogaversary candy! To enter the draw, click here.
Have a lovely Sunday!
Big hugs
