This week at As You Like It Challenge we want to see your favourite style of embossing, whether it be wet or dry, folder or stylus etc. While I love the effect of wet embossing, I find it a bit messy to do it myself, and I love the impact of some of my lovely embossing folders. I think they give a wonderful texture to cards, and I love the intricate design of some of my favourite folders. My card today features some embossed daisies which give a 3D texture frame to my watercoloured lamb panel.
This week at As You Like It Challenge we want to see your favourite sketch / layout. This was an easy one for me, because I revisit this particular layout very often. I like the ability to showcase 2 pretty papers (often from my favourite paper designer, Nitwit Collections) with the join covered by some pretty satin ribbon. I frame a circular image panel with flowers and a double bow in opposite diagonals and a trio of flat backed pearls in the opposite corners. It enables me to use my favourite embellishments (flowers, ribbons and pearls) in a 3D card.
Today's card is a springtime bunny, using a digi from one of my favourite artists, Lee Holland. As usual he's watercoloured using Distress Reinkers. I've used some pastel Springtime tones which I much prefer to bold bright colours as they feel warmer and softer.
