Brenda

Brenda WOW, is all I can say, I  absolutely love this design, I love everything you have used and the Ombre effect that you have achieved with those Distress Oxide inks is STUNNING!

Here is Brenda's description:

"I started off with a piece of pearlised card which brush with Distress Oxide, Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet. The embossing folder is a Crafters Companion one it has dies set into it, hence the raised butterflies, I put sticky paper under the butterflies and sprinkled glitter on to give a little bit more sparkle. The stamp is Honey Doo Floral Posy. I managed to make it fit into the aperture by cutting around some of the flowers with a scalpel."

Thank you so very much for taking part Brenda.

Janet

Janet, two gorgeous, luxurious cards from you this week, embossing mirror card always gives an amazing result, look how deep that emboss is too, the Gemini is the best isn't it?!                        With so much gorgeous detail these cards need little embellishment, Janet has added the perfect finishing touches.  Both of the embossing folders are Crafters Companion 3D folders.

Thank you so much Janet for two gorgeous cards.

Michele

Michele has made 4 cards for this weeks challenge. I have to say Michele I really like the all white look, you have used a lovely selection of embossing folders that I am not going to try and guess the names of.  I love how you have used one to make a Christmas card, even though it isn't a festive design.          I love the three flowers on the last card too, with that sweet embossed sentiment, a true completely embossed card.

Thank you so much for taking part Michele, despite having a very stressful week,

Thank you so very much for taking part.

Lorraine your Tatty Teddy card is just so adorable, you have coloured the Teddy perfectly with your pencils, it really looks like he has texture, adding Glossy Accents to the balloon was a genius idea too.

I really appreciate you taking time to take part in the challenge each week.
