Lexi's Creations Challenge - Emboss It!


The week's are flying by & what IS going on with the weather?  The beginning of the week it was chilly & Autumnal but now it is hotter than ever lol.  This card is very simple & not my usual style but it made a nice change (& a change is as good as a rest they say ;)  ) I must admit though I still think I prefer to see pretty designer papers.

As the challenge at Lexi's Creations is Emboss It! I used my Swiss Dots embossing folder (I don't use these folders very much, I think it's because  they're a bit awkward to use with my old Zip-e-Mate lol) & some graduated coloured card (I can't remember what it's called but hopefully you can see what I mean).   The image I used is "Ballerinas" but as you can see only used one of the 3 & I hope Lexi will forgive me I had to give her a mouth lol.  I made a little skirt out of lace & coloured the rest of her in with ProMarkers.  The finishing touches are lots of pearls, tulle, flower & a greeting.  One lucky person will win a £10 voucher from Joanna Sheen :)

Create4fun - Birthday Card
Just Inspirational - Hobby etc
Pixie Dust - Go Crazy with Polka Dots
Stamp Something - Digi Day
Stamping Vacation - Clear as Mud (Candy)
Charisma - Die Cuts
