Crafty Ann's Challenge #6 - Embossing


This time the challenge from Crafty Ann is to use embossing on your creation - wet or dry - it's up to you. As usual, there will be a prize of some digi papers and images from Crafty Ann's Shop.
For my card I have used Ann's lovely digi  - duck in umbrella - the bp is also from Ann's shop and is from the Abstract pastel range - I have used a pale yellow which is a little stronger in real life.The flower, which is also from Ann's blossom sheet and the main image have been coloured with Promarkers. The sentiment is a clear stamp from Hobby Art. My embossed piece is some Co-ordinations card - put through the Cuttlebug and sanded lightly.


My second card is another piece that I did for this month's By the Cute and Girly challenge for something new.
Both the image, which has been stamped and coloured with Distress inks, is a Joanna Sheen stamp and the bp if from Joanna's Baby Love cd.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Two stunning cards Beryl and both such different styles. The duck in the umbrella made me chuckle as soon as I saw it - the sentiment goes perfectly with that image as do the shape of the mats. The baby card has real awwwwwwww factor to it - beautiful.

Two gorgeous cards Beryl, I love them both. If I had to choose I think the duck just has the edge for me though

Morning Beryl. Your umbrella card is very appropriate here today, it's pouring with rain! I love the duck, he's adorable and that embossed card looks just like bubbly water, it's great.
Your baby card is gorgeous too, what a lovely image.
Have a great weekend.
