The basic white top layer is debossed using spots EF from Itsy Bitsy.

My card base is a textured coconut cream CS. I added an inverted scalloped rectangle in Kraft color with dimension and created this adorable winter scene.

Added a torn snowbank to give detail and a layer of sparkle is heat embossed for more interest.

I die-cut some Christmas trees from a dazzling cream embossed textured sheet and a glittery tangerine sheet.  The cute fawn is in the kraft sheet.

The neon sunset glitter dots are the perfect combo with Kraft paper. I stamped the sentiment using archival ink.

Hope you enjoyed the process!

Happy crafting!

Cheerful note with spring florals

Hello friends!

Happy Saturday!

The dry embossed backgrounds can create amazing elegant designs! 

I tried to emboss and deboss on the same panel with some decorated flowers!

Do you want to see....... here it is!

I started by flower field embossing folder ( which is discontinued now) on a scrap of the light blue panel. 

Rubbed some Picket fence DI directly on the embossing folder before dry embossed the panel. And after embossing mermaid lagoon DO was used to add a bit of additional color to the embossed areas of the design using a foam brush where I wanted.

If you look carefully at the right-hand side panel is debossed and the left-hand side panel is embossed.

Here is a clear pic: Lok the flowers and see the difference, how beautiful it is!!

Now I die cut some tiny flowers and leaves, watercolored them using my ZIG brushes and created some lines to the flower for some textures using a pointed tool. 

Die-cut the sentiment Just a note from a scrap of silver glittered and white foam sheet.

Now decorated my panel with these flowers and sentiment along with a stitched scalloped frame and tiny butterflies.

Embellished it with some silver gems.

 Hoping you enjoyed it!

Happy crafting!

https://letscreatechallenges.blogspot.com/2022/01/challenge-179-ag-something-new.html

I started by blending some DI on a white panel as shown in the below pic.

Then I stamped the hanging stockings on a scrap of a white sheet, watercolored it and fussy cut it.  Then I added some embossing paste dots through the back tip of the water brush as snowflakes. And heat embossed the, see the magic in the below pic.

This is seriously the easiest, most fabulous way to add snowfall to your cards!

Now, I stamped the deer image on a scrap white piece and watercolored it using my ZIG brushes.

Added some details as some snow using my white gel pen.

Now added that blended panel to my card base, and added a landscape panel, freely and cut it. As you saw some snowfalls here and there with a sentiment in blue.

Playful kittens!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

I am glad to participate this year! But I am going out for the next 2 days, so will come back after 2 days with more of my cat projects.

I started with a dotted cover plate die out of white CS, holographic sheet and white foam sheet.

On my card base, I placed one of the white dotted dies and marked some circles using a pencil.

Now I blended some DI using a blender on these circles and rub circle marks. Added some water droplets on the blended circles.

Now filled some of the dotted shakers in two colors, placed my cats and placed a transparent sheet on it and adhered my holographic panel on it.

In the end, I placed a die-cut sentiment out of a glitter sheet.

Look at these playful kittens, sp magical! Aren't they so cute!

Happy crafting!
