Sending Love Your Way-FM192

January 12, 2015

 Oh my, it is a rainy, dreary, gloomy, chilly day in Georgia!  I have never been a fan of January.  I know it is all part of the cycle, but I am looking forward to sunnier days.

 So, I brought a little sun shine into my day and found time to play in my craft room.  I always feel better when I can spend some time being creative.  

 This week at The Friday Mashup they had a fun challenge to play along with.  I love using embossing techniques on my cards, so thought I would give it a try.
This week's Mashup Challenge is:

  • Create a project with a "Embossing Folder Stamping Technique". Link Here. 
  • Create a project  with "Mix & Matched Shapes". 
  • or Mash it Up! and create a "project using the technique with different shapes"

I had so much fun trying to decide which embossing folder to use on my card.  Since I am trying to build up my stash of Valentine cards, I decided to use Real Red and picked the arrows.  (I didn't realize this embossing folder was retired.)    I used a spritz of water on my watercolor paper and the paper looks a little watery in spots, but that is the way the technique is shown.  I am kind of nervous with this look, but I am trying something new today.  Hope you enjoy my card!  


I have a lot of different shapes on my card.  There are diamonds and arrows on the embossing paper, hearts and circles on my card and the shape of the card is a rectangle.  That should cover the mix and match shapes in the Mashup!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!  

If you have any questions on my card, please contact me at: Claire.

Stay warm and dry!

Happy Stampin!
Claire

    I love that embossed/watercoloured background - very effective! I've never tried this -off to hunt out some under-used embossing folders for a play ....!
