Glitterbabe meets Elephantastic!

This week at Glitterbabes we are priviliged to be sponsored by Elephantastic, who grasciously allowed us one of their images "Sketchy Snowman" to play with. Isn't he just gorgeous!!!

The theme this week is EMBOSSING , your choice which variety, dry, heat, by machine or by hand (or any form I don't know about yet). Just show us that gorgeous texture!!!

I know it's difficult to see(pearlescent white card isn't easy to photograph), but I have embossed wavy lines down the edge of my card using a Keepsake board(by the Glitter Girls, pale green can't remember what it's called). Then I wanted to emboss on the space by the snowman with my cuttle bug folder, but because of the position it wouldn't fit in the machine sooooo... and I'm sure someone is going to scream..... I trapped the card in the folder(snowflake christmas tree) where I wanted the embossing, and rubbed over it with my bone folder. And it worked, though I am not advising it as it may damage the folder if this is done on a regular basis!!

Some gentle colouring with promarkers, and some large blue bling for bottons, and I'm very pleased with the finished result.:D XXX

I am entering this card for;
One Stop Crafts #99 "snowflakes in September"
Stamping Vacation's "White Space"
Sentimental Sundays#22 "Let's see some dimension"

Glitterbabes Challenge#5"School Days"

Thursday again, so it's time for another challenge from the Glitterbabe :D This week she would like us to make a card or project with the theme "School Days". I have chosen to use "Back to school"downloadable kit from JLJ designs. Infact the whole card is made from a single design sheet, all I've added is the glittercard, brads and pompoms. I think it will make a lovely card of encouragement for a little girl just starting school, or moving up to "big" school. What do you think?

Hope you can join us at Glitterbabes Challenge this week :D

Glitterbabe's Challenge #4 Faux Stitching

Yes it's already Thursday!!! Where has this week gone? To cheer you on to the weekend we have a nice easy challenge over at Glitterbabe's Challenge Blog "Faux Stitching". That's right, not even "real" stitching, just do your own thing, then add some bling!! I've used " Doll with Heart" (Who already has her faux stitching :D) and then added my own on the backing papers, couldn't be easier!! She even has little patches that were just beggign to be glittered :)And don't forget, you don't have to use one of Stef's images, but you can get some Freebies here if you'd like to give them a try :D
