MMM - Dry Embossing

By
It's the first challenge of the year at Make My Monday and we have made a few changes. Firstly when you you link up you will see a thumbnail pic of your card - this has been kindly donated by Mynnette of the DT and secondly we have done away with the monthly theme. From now on a different member of the team will set the weekly challenge and this week Suzi B kicks us off with some DRY EMBOSSING.
Here is my card


My dry embossing is on the cream background panel - run through my dotty embossing folder. I then sponged over the dots to make them stand out more. I have stamped my images using the '2 Step Stamping technique' - the yellow parts of the flowers were stamped first then a more detailed stamp and a darker coloured ink was stamped over the top. I did the same with the leaves but using green inks.

Materials
Stamps: Stippled Blossoms, Field Flowers
Ink: Daffodil Delight, tangerine Tango, Certain Celery, Old Olive, Crumb Cake
Card Stock: Naturals Ivory, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Dimentionals
Other: Dotty Embossing Folder
(All Stampin Up products can be ordered through me and delivered direct to your door - please see the details in the top tab).

 Thanks for looking - sorry this is late. I started it on time but my husband decided to hold a business meeting in our living room so I had a major cleaning operation to perform!
Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

    I like how you have inked the dots told me them stand out and the double stamping looks great. I must give this challenge a go.

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
