Craftyanns Challenge No 3 TEXTURE

Here is my card for Craftyanns
Ann's challenge this week was 'Texture'
I took a blank silver pearlescent card from my stash to which I added a square of textured paper. The paper was made using 'Starburst Stain's available from The Stampman. Unfortunately I have forgotten which set of stains this is from as I have done lots recently. I used the 'Scrunch' technique and after it had dried I applied ink from my Versamark Pad before covering with Gold Embossing Powder/
Three flowers have been added from my stash which I think complement the colours, a butterfly brad attached to the centre of the flowers gives a finishing touch, as do the brads on each corner.
I hope that Ann likes what I have done and that it will fulfill her challenge this week.

InchybyInch Challenge Set by Frankie

This challenge is a 'Technique First' for me and has been set over at InchybyInch by their Guest Designer this week, who happens to be my good friend Frankie. Frankie's challenge was to create Inchies using Triple Embossing combined with Stamping.

I am pleased with the end result and will certainly be doing more of this technique. I started with an 1" square of mountboard from my craft stash, my Versamark pad was used to enable the UTEE to stick before heating with my heat gun, this was repeated 3 times before stamping onto the hot tile with stamps from the Daisy Butterfly Set from Graphicus. I then ran my Versamark pad over the top before brushing Cosmic Shimmers over them. The background which the Inchies are on, is a piece of Navy card which I sprayed with Cosmic Shimmers and a little water. #

Thanks to Frankie for setting this challenge and for her tutorial as 'How to' get the effect.
