As ever, the Design Team will choose their top four picks, with the winner being invited to join us in a Guest DT spot at Frilly and Funkie and the next three will receive Top 3 badges to display on their blogs. Everyone who enters and follows the rules will be entered into the draw to have the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
I decided to make a start on creating Christmas cards, turning to Tim Holtz new 'Glorious Gatherings' stamp set for a bold statement. And because there is so much detail in the main floral bouquet stamp itself I kept the rest of the design very simple - great if you are concerned about the thickness of your cards when posting them!
As we are focusing on embossing for this challenge I chose to emboss the floral image with black embossing powder before colouring it with Distress Spray Stains and blending Distress Ink around the edges. There are four festive greetings included in this stamp set so those were also embossed before being mounted onto the cards.
If you are not totally confident in getting a crisp image when heat embossing with black embossing powder I would suggest using your Stamp Platform to stamp the floral stamp first in black archival ink and then in embossing ink covered with the embossing powder, so that parts not covered by the powder don't show.
I used a large piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock to create these cards because it allows the Distress Spray Stains to blend more easily and can be cut into four ready for mounting onto Wendy Vecchi's new landscape Perfect Cardstock cards.
That's it for my embossed project for the current Frilly and Funkie challenge. My talented team mates have created lots more amazing projects for this challenge so make sure you hop on over and check them out HERE. And remember to link up your own shabby chic or vintage Halloween entries to be in with a chance of winning one of the fabulous prizes.
Take care of yourselves and get creative!
