The Stampman Challenge-Embossing

Evening lovely Crafters. Summer has arrived, that must have been the shortest Spring on record, Shhh don't say that tooo loudly, I want this wonderful weather to last.

I was complaining last week about the fact that our Easter school holidays are so early this year, but with the weather being so glorious we are having a great time and have been out and about everyday and when at home we've been in the garden, so apologises for my lack of blogging activity, it is just too nice to be indoors!!

Saying that I did manage to get my DT piece done for The Stampman's new challenge this week which is Embossing. We were very sad to say cheerio to our lovely team mate Sarah, who is off on new and exciting adventures, but on a positive note we can say hello to Neil who hopefully will keep all us Ladies in order. He creates some gorgeous projects so pop over and take a look at his blog if you've got a minute.


Back to my project. I wanted to play with UTEE again but couldn't think where to start until I was watching the Clarity programme on C&C last weekend and saw a lovely card that gave me the inspiration to start. I thought the card was made by my blogging buddy Emma, but she hasn't shown it amongst her samples this week so I'm not so sure now. If it's not one of yours Emma, I apologise, but go and check out Emma's cards anyway, you won't be disappointed.

All the stamps I've used are from a Non Sequitur stamp sheet called Italy and it was in The Stampman's sale section in the shop.


The border was stamped and embossed with Moonglow Midnight Emerald Obsidian, which is the same powder I used for the central UTEE disc. The main piece of UTEE was done with Cosmic Shimmer Lapis Azure and dusted with a mica powder to highlight the texture.


I brushed some Starburst Stain over the Cuttlebug Script embossed background and added a bead to the UTEE piece.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend, whatever you get up too and enjoy the sunshine.
