Bumblebrella

This week's theme at Incy Wincy is embossing (either dry embossing which I've used, or heat embossing), and we're sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps who are giving away a $10 prize to our winner.

I've used an image from Stitchy Bear called Bumblebrella, and I've stamped her twice, coloured her using my Promarkers, and cut out and raised the second image on sticky foam pads.  I've added some glitter to her flower umbrella and her wings, and some shimmer chalks to shade around the base image.  My accents are blue spotty buttons, two strips of pastel blue ribbon and a bow in sparkly blue elastic (note to self : it is very hard to tie a bow in elastic string so don't try it again!!!)  My embossing is a happy birthday embossing folder that I've then shaded with blue shimmer chalk to bring out the raised parts.

Please pop on over to the Incy Wincy challenge blog and enter our embossing challenge and see the rest of the cards created by our fab design team.  I look forward to seeing your creations.

I've also been inspired by the following:

• Paperplay - Embossing
• Paper Sundaes - Embossing

Happy crafting
