Once again I find myself being unprepared for the Waltzingmouse Pyjama Party, despite the invites being sent out last week. So again I've 'cheated' and cased one of my own cards just to say I've played:
You can see the original card on this post here. I bought some gold embossing powder online recently and thought it would look lovely against a cream background, using the WMS Simple Sprig. It's a little lighter than what I wanted but I think it would look gorgeous against black or navy.
I'm entering this into challenge 1 - make a project using embossed textures, without using an embossing folder. I've used the embossing powder and I've created an embossed frame using a couple of Spellbinders Fancy Squares. I tried this technique a couple of years ago, failed miserably and haven't attempted it again but Jennifer Mcguire has done a great tutorial for this and this time it worked a treat. The sentiment is from WMS Asian gardens Additions.
Well, off to grab to tea and chocolate before taking a peak at what everyone else has done....thanks for stopping,

What a beautiful frame Claire! It enhances the leaves and blooms beautifully!! So glad you decided to try your hand at this technique again. It turned out lovely!
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my favourite WMS stamp, Claire ... it's so gorgeous with the bold pinky-red blooms over the gold leaves ... and so perfect nestled in that intricate, delicately embossed frame! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty frame - so much detail in it. I love that light gold embossing powder. I agree with Anita - this is probably my favourite stamp too. Love how you've hung it upside down - could almost be hanging under a doorway or chimney breast !!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously stunning Claire. Love the gold embossed leaves, will have to give this a go.
ReplyDeleteClaire this is so elegant and feminine - you captured so much beautiful detail in the design! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful debossed framing for your lovely layered sprig stampings Claire!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this is absolutely gorgeous Claire, I love it! So elegant and beautiful.... you win!
