Cake

This card looks so simple and I have struggles so much with it!
It uses the resist embossing technique
I have not done this before and it is totally out of my comfort zone
A few pieces went straight into the bin
I used Papermania stamps build a cake
Stamped it with Versamark
Then used clear embossing power heated it until clear
To colour it I used a waterbrush and one of my ink pads
Brushed of any excess with a tissue
The sentiment is a embossing folder from papermania
I think it turned out ok but not one of my favourites

This card is for the following challenge


Thanks for looking

I am so glad you tried a new technique and hope that you try emboss resist again sometime. You might want to try sponging ink on your paper after you heat emboss.

Thanks for playing along with Speedy's Friends!

You're one heck of a busy crafter - I'm getting dizzy with all your postings that pop up on my Blogger Dashboard!! Love this, I tried resist embossing once but must have another go! Di x

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
