Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at ABC Christmas Challenges.
I hope you are all well and getting some time to craft. I'm feeling the spring vibe right now with all the beautiful blooms that have burst open to brighten my day.
We have three choices for you this time -
E for Embossing,
F for Faux,
G for Gingerbread
The lovely Lynda from Loopyloo Cards is our host this time and she has a prize for the randomly chosen winner.
I came up with
E for Embossing
I used a snowflake embossing folder for the background and some coated card for this technique. I embossed the blue card, got a sanding block and gently sanded away the surface from the raised details of the embossing. I really like this technique which gives the look of embossing paste without needing drying time.
The snowman is also from Crafter's Companion and he was coloured simply with the scarf and hat being raised with some glue for dimension.
G is for Gingerbread
For this card, I cut a panel with a die for The Greetery, masked off a rectangle and inked with blue ink to create the background. I stamped and white embossed the gingerbread figures (The Best Gift stamp set from Inky Doodles) onto kraft card, along with their clothing and Christmas stockings. I coloured the clothing and fussy cut everything before dressing the figures and adhering them to the panel. The sentiment was stamped between them to finish everything off.
I'd like to play along at
Thanks for stopping by,
Hugs
