Just typing that has made my mouth water!! Our challenge at
Crafty Emmas Challenges this week has been set by the lovely, Sandie - a girl after my own heart, clearly!! Mind you, just been told that my cholesterol is too high, so trying to wean myself off the sweet stuff!!
I digress, as I said the challenge from Sandie is to make a card with chocolate and caramel in mind which could be the colours or the actual yummy stuff - you can interpret this as you wish!
I've gone with the colours ( I've eaten all the yummy stuff!). For my image, which is one of a newer Papermania wooden stamp, I stamped her onto watercolour paper, with Brushed Corduroy Distress ink and then just drew out the colour from the lines with my water brush to get the sepia effect. Love this technique as it's so quick to do, and yet effective. I then edged the image with some Old Paper distress ink and finally layered it up on
Prima Analee Papers. The corner was cut from
Webster's Lullaby papers and the little envelope was cut using a fab new Bigz Sizzix die. The Special delivery stamp is
Cat's Life Press from
Crafty Emma's store - in fact I've highlighted in red the goodies that are from Emma's - including the
ribbon slider and
charm. The gorgeous lace is some vintage lace that I picked up from an antique shop!
Emma has a great prize on offer this week, (in addition to the winner's blinkies!!!) and that is a fabbie box of buttons and ribbons from My Mind's Eye - mmmmmm!!
The cards from my teamies this week are as fab as ever, so do pop over and have a peek. TTFNxx
