Smile

Why do I have this title?? Well I am feeling so many emotions right now. Today is the final day of my Inspiration class with Jennifer. It was a fun, informative and learning experience. So now that its over...I am feeling kind of sad but happy at the same time. Seeing my creation with all the techniques on the canvas is giving me a smile. Thanks Jennifer and the guests for this creative journey.
Here is what I created and its going to go on my wall. I chose to write smile as this is what my first expression was:)

Hope you enjoy seeing it. I truly enjoy creating it.  Pls. click on the photo for a better view. I will be posting a few close ups tomorrow as the weather didn't give me company today:)

Have a nice weekend.

Thanks

I made this card using the technique called Trap Embossed Resist. I used it a few times but did not know what it is called. Now, thanks to Jennifer I have a name:)
I am submitting this for the challenge at Wee Memories: No Pattern Paper
Simon Says Stamp blog: Use of Dies and Punches.

Thanks for peeking in:)

Best wishes

Another card I made for the Online Inspiration class with Jennifer. I used distress inks and dry embossing. I made this Accordion flower myself, which was fun and love the result. I really like using these colors together. This card is for the challenge at Wee Memories blog: NO Pattern Paper and Simon says Stamp blog - use of Dies and punches

To finish some gems here and there and a PTI sentiment:)
Thanks for dropping by.

Just Saying Hello

As part of my Online Inspiration class with Jennifer, I made this card using two of the techniques. Coloring the embossing folder before embossing and also embossing on Acetate. Its all about dry embossing and I have to say that I just love the effect. I used the lovely sketch from Lily Pad blog. This is my submission at Wee Memories Blog  as the challenge is NO pattern paper and Simon says Stamp blog - use of dies or punches

I used Hero Arts Soft Pool Shadow ink on the Birds and Swirls Embossing folder. The Butterflies are cut with a MS Punch. I colored the butterflies using broken china, pine needle, faded jeans, crushed olive and peeled paint distress inks. Love the effect of embossed Acetate and all the dimension. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

 Hope you like what I created. It was so much fun and it looks just amazing in real.
