Challenge # 29



Morning all its challenge time again over at Through the purple haze challenges this week our theme is Embossing and our prize of £10 coupon is sponsored by My mums craft shop


I decided to use my Glittergirls Bookatrix Embossing board to make the card base




I embossed several layers in white black and Art Deco paper from Papermania
the image is also a Papermania Stamp which I stamped on to white card and coloured using my promarkers

Hair: Shale
Cinnamon
Henna
Primrose
Skin: Pastel Pink 
Blush
Ivory
Cool Grey 5,4,3,2,1
Black
Blender

After colouring I used Sakura green gel pen to highlight the feathers on the ladies dress and her head piece 
I also used versamark pen and enchanted gold embossing powder on the same areas.


After cutting out the image I covered it completely with embossing ink and clear embossing powder and heat embossed it.

To finish I used Diamante Flourishes, Spellbinder die cuts, Ribbon and Roses

Challenges I would like to enter this card into are:
crafting when we can challenges Lots of bling
The squirrel and the fox Love
Lothian crafts Love using your dies



Thanks for stopping by today and please pop over to TTPH and see the fab creations from my extremely talented teamies

Until next time
