<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here is what I made with this gorgeous stamp set from Pink & Main with my fabulous WOW! Embossing Powders!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I love how cute these little birds are and you even get little baby birds too!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I stamped and embossed the birds using <b>WOW! Embossing Pad </b>with <b>Platinum embossing powder</b> - its my favourite!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I then used brush markers and a water brush to add all the colour details to the birds. I felt the birds could be whatever colour I wanted them to be - so it was pretty pink and girlie colours! Just look at that gorgeous Platinum embossing!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped my sentiment onto white card stock and cut to a banner shape and then added some blue ink around the edges using a Distress Oxide ink pad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Inking around the edge of the card to create a frame draws your eye into the centre of the card, again I used a Distress Oxide ink pad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To finish the card I added little dots of Glitter Glue in Stardust just to add that touch of sparkle to the background of my card. </span></div>

Embossing Powder Monthly Challenge - Shimmer<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi everyone</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope you are all well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my Challenge card this month I have used my Julie Hickey Designs Essential Poinsettia stamp set with the verse that comes with my Floral Tree stamp set.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have used WOW! Embossing Powder -<a href="https://www.wowembossingpowder.co.uk/we04-copper-pearl-60-p.asp"> Copper Pearl</a> not used this powder before and oh boy its gorgeous! Such a pretty soft tone to it and when I coloured the poinsettia's in with Distress Oxide Abondoned Coral they just went together so well. They were made for each other.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How fabulous does my Poinsettia look in that wonderful embossing powder?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hope you like it as much as I do! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I cut around the edge of the poinsettia to give a shaped edge to my card, then placed a strip of platinum glitter card stock behind. A little inking around the edge of my card using abandoned coral and expresso, and a few sequins added and thats my card for today.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to add a bit of could around the edge of the white embossed design, making it pop off the paper more. I loved how the soft green really lifted the design so I repeated it on the opposite corner too.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now to mount my panel to my card blank. I first cut a thin strip of gold card stock and attached it down the side of the panel. This really does add something to the panel.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next I wanted to try something that I have seen the super talented, Jennifer McGuire, do recently. She heat embossed her sentiment onto a panel of vellum and attached it over her busy background - I loved how this looked and thought this card would be perfect to try this technique out on.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I then wrapped the vellum around the panel, secured on the back and attached panel to front of 6x4 card blank. I thought a little butterfly on the sentiment would finish it off and so I heat embossed in white a butterfly from <a href="https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/product/Simon-Says-Clear-Stamps-BEAUTIFUL-DAY-sss101824-sss101824?currency=USD">Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Day Stamp set</a>. I used the same ink pads to add colour to the back of the vellum. I then cut out the butterfly and attached to the sentiment.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope you have all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend - as per usual the weather wasn't so good so I decided to take advantage of it and have a little play in my cabin creating some inky backgrounds.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxides which I absolutely love - they are so creamy, they blend and layer so well and every time I just love the results!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I start I just can't stop! I actually have to limit myself to a certain number of sheets of watercolour card and just wipe up the ink sometimes as I could just keep on going!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also saw a card on Pinterest a while a go where the background was made up of circles and I wanted to try it. I just used a sponge and altered the pressure I used when stamping it out. I then added splats of watered down ink and I was quite pleased with the result - it looked nothing like the beautiful card that inspired me!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I only managed to make another card from all those backgrounds, ran out of time!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used one of the slim panels and stamped with my Garden Treasures Stamp Set, just in black ink, added a sentiment and layered onto black card stock before attaching to my card. A few sequins sprinkled around and the card is done! Simples - said like a meerkat!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The ink I used for this card was Distress Oxide - Seedless Preserves</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I started by making myself a template of an apple, stalk and leaves. I drew it onto scrap paper, cut it out and marked it 'template' so I didn't throw it away so I have it for always. I then traced around the template onto a card blank, overhanging part of the apple over the scored section so when I cut it out it would still be a folded card.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I then covered the apple shaped card blank with red paper. I coloured the leaves and stalk using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink pads. I scored down the centre of leaves, used foam pads and attached to front of card. I then glued the stalk to inside of card front.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: start;">I stamped and embossed 'thanks teacher' using WOW!

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I die cut the stitched curve into white card stock. Covered the front of my 6x6 card blank and added the stitched panel to the top of the card. I cut some of the flowers and butterflies out of the papers and arranged on my card front. Stamped the sentiment and added some dots of Nuvo Crystal drops and glitter glue - Stardust.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My second card I used the fabulous inky/painty background paper - I love this one! Again cut the stitched curve from white card stock and attached to front of 6x6 card blank.

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Wrapped twine around the top of the card and finished with some sequins.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And lastly, I cut a panel of the floral paper, I then used my scalpel to cut all the background paper away around the edges of the flowers. I cut the stitched curved from several of the background papers and layered them onto the front of my card blank.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped a sentiment and adde some of the butterflies that I cut out.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another hand drawn flower that I absolutely love! Its so versatile whether its stamped and embossed, stamped in different colour inks, cut into the petals and curl and shape them, stamped on vellum, stamped on acetate - the results are always fabulous! Thinking of You another go to sentiment - perfect for get well cards and also for sympathy cards and, well, unfortunately we all need to make them.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another really useful, reach for it again and again, sentiment : Thank You. This time you have 2 sprigs of flowers and leaves and when you see some of the amazing inspiration I'm sure you'll be hooked and want to add them to your collection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love this inky background created using Tonic Nuvo Aquaflow pens and it was absolutely perfect to use with my Thank You sentiments. Simply stamped in black ink for maximum impact. I added some hearts from Rosie Posey and the butterfly from Beautiful Blooms stamp sets - again see how well they all inter mix and match?</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It still never ceases to amaze me that when you design something other people see such different ways to use what you have created.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This first card, made by Jo Street shows just how creative you can be with my stamps. Jo has used my Essential Sentiments : Hello stamp set (up next on the blog) with the Thank You around the outside edge and then a sprinkling of flowers from Heartfelt Wishes stamp set. Just fabulous!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wanted a range of essential sentiments, ones you will use time and time again. but I wanted to include a main focal design too - so with Happy Birthday you get this gorgeous flower - one of my all time favourite flowers that I have drawn.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So all the sentiments will work with the main Happy Birthday, but you can also chop them about and make your own too.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I created an inky background using Tonic Nuvo Aquaflow pens and then heat embossed using WOW! Embossing Powder : Bright White, adding in a few hearts and sequins from Friendship Blooms Stamp Set. I heat embossed the sentiments in white onto black card stock making them pop from the inky background.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: helvetica neue, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When I opened the parcel of sample cards from Emma Smith I knew she would make an amazing home decor piece, she always does, but WOW Emma this is simply stunning. You really need to see it in the flesh as the vellum sparkle embossed flowers are just beautiful and so hard to capture in a photograph. I love the pop of red with just that one flower!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love roses, you doesn't and again they are so great for so many different occasions too. I included the individual roses indifferent sizes, together with leaves and sprigs so you can create your own arrangements too. The double lines are great to use to create a frame around your card too and I just adore those sentiments! The mixture of the fonts just works so well.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I created this card just stamping in grey ink and colouring in using Distress Oxide ink pads and a wet paintbrush. Repeating the roses in opposite corners and splattering ink in between. The sentiment is heat embossed using WOW! Embossing Powder : Platinum (my absolute favourite!)</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love the individual roses and how you can create your own backgrounds, adding the tiny hearts and 3 dots between. Adding a few roses, leaves and sprigs cut out and attached with foam pads to add dimension draws your eye to that fabulous sentiment embossed in white onto black card stock.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to create a frame that would fill a 6x4 card blank or an envelope - you know how I love to decorate my envelopes or it could be cut into and just the flowers used.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It looks fabulous if you heat emboss it like I did here using WOW! Embossing Powder : Bright White and then blended Distress Oxide inks over the top, buffing the excess ink off.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to show that this stamp is very clever... you can actually use it in any orientation it works! So whichever way up you stamp it - its going to work! I love it over this inky background, gold embossed and then layered onto kraft card blank - looks great don't you think?</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then Sue Morgan got her colouring pens out and how gorgeous does this look? She cut an aperture in the centre, added the frame with foam pads for dimension and then added the sentiment directly onto the card blank, love this!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is one of my favourite stamps from the Summer Blooms Collection 2018!</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Again it is so so versatile, using it as a heart, cut into the flowers and use them individually, cut apertures in the centre, heat emboss the design, stamp it onto vellum the ideas just go on and on.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I saw what the Design Team created too - well I was totally blown away!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here's one of my cards....</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I stamped on vellum and coloured from the back using Distress Oxide ink pads.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love how Sue has used just the bottom of the heart to create a frame around the edge of her card! Isn't that brilliant!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is something about wildflower designs that I just love, use the over inky backgrounds, just stamped in black for a really dramatic card or emboss them in gold, silver or even platinum for a real touch of elegance and luxury. Either way the results look stunning. I wanted to add some really lovely sentiments too - with a mix of picking out one or two words in a fancy font and the rest being in a plain and simple font - I just love this combination and think they lend themselves so well to the flowers.</span><br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of my favourite designs for a card is 9 squares and so I just had to use Garden Treasures to create one. I used an inky background that I had already created, cut the squares, pushed them together and stamp on some and over two with other designs. I add some splats of gold paint and added pen lines around the edge of each square.</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love this set - its is so so versatile! Use the corner arrangement of flowers, cut into them and use just one or two of your choice. All the sentiments fit inside the hexagon too - why not stamp, emboss the hexagon and then cut an aperture from the centre and stamp your sentiment inside your card? Hearts, butterfly and ittle bee, notice the BEE Happy too? to embellish your designs and you even have a 'made with love' for the back of your card!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I use the floral corner top left and bottom right stamped in black ink over a pink and orange inky background. I then drew black pen lines to form a square. Added a little bee and some hearts and added a banner sentiment from Friendship Blooms! My stamp sets mix and match so well together. Again giving you so much versatility!</span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really love that there are so many different elements in this set that you don't even have to use the gorgeous floral corner to create a beautiful card, simply using the hexagon to give you a really interesting border to your card.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So this is what I have made for this weeks challenge...it's called a 'gap card' and my lovely friend Paula Pascual taught me how to make it several years ago. I love it because you have open areas in the front of your card where you can see through to the inside. Its a very clever idea and is a really eye catching design.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have another card to share with you using the amazing <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/die-cutting/sizzix/tim-holtz-sizzix/tim-holtz-3-d-texture-fades-embossing-folder-botanical.html">3D Texture Fade - Botanical from Tim Holtz </a>- it really is stunning! The embossing folder I mean!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've made an all white card. Firstly I die cut a heart shape, then I spritzed the card with water and put it in the 3D Texture Fade and ran it through my die cutting machine. The embossing it achieves is a-m-a-z-i-n-g it is so dimensional - simply stunning. I love the Botanical design because I think it can be used for so many different occasions. Once I have dry embossed the design, I wiped the heart with an anti static bag and then rubbed my <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/embossing/wow-clear-ultra-slow-drying-embossing-pad.html">WOW! Ultra Slow Drying Embossing Pad</a> over the design, very gently. Sprinkle on <a href="https://www.craftsulove.co.uk/embossing/wow-embossing-powder-white-pearl.html">White Pearl Embossing Powder</a>, tapping excess off and then heating to melt the powder. I love the shine that I now have just on the high spots of the the botanical design.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I die cut some of the flowers and leaves from the Creative Expressions Finishing Touches - Passion Flower die set - another favourite of mine right now!
