Finally time to enter a challenge!

Hi all, it seems like it's been ages since I've had the time to make cards for challenges other than the Desigh Team work that I've been doing.  However this afternoon I decided to head into the studio and came up with this little beauty.

Not the best photographer, I was trying to get the shimmer but it really didn't work out so well.  Love the colour combo and decided to try a little vintage style with it.

This card is for the following challgnes

Such a fabulous challenge!

Hello all, what a great Friday Mashup challenge Lisa brings us today. I LOVE it.  Heat embossing and saying Thanks.  Easy peasy combo that one.  So get to it!!!

1. Make a project featuring "Heat Embossing".
2. Or Make a "Thank You (Grateful)" project.
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Thank You Project using Heat Embossing".

I have always wanted to try the bleaching technique, now this involves heat embossing so it was the one I chose to do my card.  The Stipple Rose was inked with versamark then I tapped the stamp into the black inkpad and stamped it onto River Rock then embossed it with clear embossing powder.

I filled one of my aqua paint pens with bleach and wrote bleach all over it so I don't get it mixed up with the water ones!  then I painted bleach inside the embossing.  I LOVE the effect, I've not watercoloured or added any ink to this as the colour came out beautifully with just bleaching the River Rock.

As I'm not the best photographer, I thought I'd add a close up of the main rose so you can see the detail.  This seems to have turned the background blue! but in reality it is River Rock, always artichoke on the leaves and just plain old household bleach on the roses.

Check out the the fabulous DT inspiration cards and join in!

So now on to this week's challenge, I'm soooo happy that we are over Halloween!  One can only take so much of black and orange and pumpkins!  LOL

 

 This lovely picture has inspired me to create two totally different projects and I asked the DT girls which one to post, they all voted for both so here goes...

I was inspired by a local Magnetic Island artist and I must apologise as I didn't get their name, however this is my CASE on some beautiful hangings I saw in a gallery while over on the Island recently with my lovely friend Theresa and her daughter Kelly who were visiting me from Canberra.  This beautiful hanging is now at my kitchen window so it helps me cope with the washing up!  LOL

My card was inspired by the floral bedspread and the colours in the picture.  It doesn't show in the photo but the flowers are painted with twinkling H2Os and then the blue panel is spritzed with Champagne Mist shimmer paint so it's all sparkly.  The sentiment is a rub on.  I tend to forget I have Rub ons and remembered them when I was trying to decide on the sentiment here.  I must remember them more often!

Now hop on over to the Paper Lovin' Gals challenge blog and check out the other inspiring projects that the Design Team have for you.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.
