Kenny K's Krafty Girlz challenge - Emboss it

This week we have a brand new challenge at Kenny K's Krafty Girlz where we want you to use embossing on your creation.

I'm playing along with Team A this week with this super cute image called Hockey Girl. My papers are from Forever in Time "Let's play hockey collection". The center is embossed with Argyle cuttlebug folder and my sentiment is heat embossed using black embossing powder.

To add sparkle to my card, I used white cardstock and added scortape and burnished black ultra fine glitter to the edges and center.  My stars were punched out of the paper and  I then added stardust stickles and glossy accent.

My image is colored with Copics

Skin :E21, E00, E000, R20

Blues: B05, B02, B000, B0000

Shabby Chic Valentine card

I have been wanting to try this for a while now, Magnolia-licious highlite's DT challenge for February is Shabby Chic so I figured I would give it a try.

I found this great tutorial for shabby chic here on Stampartic blog. For my card layout Sketch and stash challenge is Free choice sketch so I picked there sketch #64 for my card.

Materials used

Papers: Kaiser Craft Sweet nothings paper pad, bazzill white cardstock

Stamps: Magnolia's Mini Cupido, Mini Kissing Tilda, mini Kissing Edwin and Sweet Moon

Martha Stewart heart punch

Flowers are from WOC

Misc. Peals, Lace, Glossy accents, stickles, Crystal stems

For my images I colored with copics and Prisma markers. I distressed all the edges of my papers then used my sewing machine for the stitching. Everything except my little cupido was misted with Matte white spraypaint, even my image. For my little cupido, I applied glossy accents and stickles on his wings.

I really love the outcome and will be doing more shabby chic in the future.

DT Herazz Valentines card

I created this Clean and simple Valentines card for Herazz Scrapbooking.

The heart is Spellbinders Classic heart die on white cardstock, stamped with Hero Arts Flourish blackground and embossed with white embossing powder. I then inked with Barn door, Fired brick and Aged mahogany distress inks.  Afterwards misted with perfect pearls and water combo.  The smaller heart was inked with distress inks them I added 3 coats of clear embossing powder.

TIP : make sure you dry the inked surface prior to stamping and adding the embossing powder or else the powder will stick to the inked surface.

I inked the white cardstock with Barn door distress ink, then I stamped with Versamark using Canvas stripe Hero Arts stamp, added clear embossing powder then heat embossed.  Afterwards I inked with Fired brick and Aged mahogany distress inks.

For the final touch, I added pearls, ribbon, lace and twine.

I am entering my card in the following challenges,
