Scrap your Story

Two uploads in one day, what is the world coming too?

I was honoured to be invited to guest design over at Scrap Your Story week four.  Thanks Christy. The techniques used were wet and dry embossing.

Mostly I use those techniques for card making, so it was a fun challenge for me to try.

The dry embossing is on the blue cardstock behind the photo and the wet embossing is on the title and the star.  Both of the images were stamped before sprinkling with embossing powder and setting with a heat gun.

I kick started my mojo by referring to a sketch by Scrap Friends, but did not follow it exactly.

    Belated congrats on your guest spot with SYS!! WTG! it's been ages since I stitched on my pages, not since my sewing machine decided to play tricks on me and I'm to lazy to take it to repairs. Ah well, one of these days ...
    He sure is a cutie, bet he winds you around his little finger with that smile and those eyes :)) Once again you've used such fantastic happy vibrant colours, perfect for the photo! lovely embossing too. xoxo
