This card has a topper which has been triple embossed and stamped with a flourish from the Stempelglede Grunge Hearts set of stamps. Details of how it was done are on the challenge blog.
The paper is from Pink Petticoat and the sentiment from SU.
This close up shows how deeply etched the stamp was... it gives a super texture.
The second card I made uses some metal foil. I'd bought it long ago in Bury St Edmunds when visiting my son... there's a great little shop there called The Stamp Hut and every time I visit, I have to just pop into the shop! They stock some lovely goodies and are really helpful and friendly! Do check out their website.
We went to see 'Singing in the Rain' in Chichester the other day. It was wonderful, I found myself smiling most of the way through. The dancing was wonderful and I was glad that we weren't sitting in the front rows as the people sitting there got SOAKED! It was such fun and I think that it was the first time that I've been at that theatre when there was a spontaneous standing ovation!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Spectacular as ever my friend!

WOW! Stunning cards Chrissie, that triple embossing looks fab, love the use of the tree colours xx
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards, but the one with the tripple embossed panel made me swoon. Wow! It is just gorgeous. I need to try that technique!
ReplyDeleteHi Chrissie, I've been trying for days to leave a comment on your two beautiful cards but I couldn't seem to manage it through blogger, so I've come through a difference route and just googled your blog name. It worked. Love both your cards, especially the beautiful red foil which you've embossed.
ReplyDeleteI took my inspiration from your triple embossed card. Thank you for your suggestion about centralising my image. You're quite right, it was a nightmare trying to get the image in the middle. I will give it another go and offcentre if I get change (and if I have enough embossing powder left after all my attempts). Sue.x
Gorgeous gorgeous cards Chrissie, love them both
