Emboss it ( Wet or dry)

 How fast the weeks flash by and it's time for a new challenge at Try it On Tuesday.  This time we would like to see your embossed projects be it heat or dry embossing.  For my sample I have used an embossing folder I have had for a long time , not sure of the make, I call it  a steampunk manequin .  coloured with distress inks and a bit of background stamping, faux stitching to finish it off.  Hope you will visit the challenge blog and enjoy the lovely samples made by the design team.

Autumn colours

 Last night I unearthed a folder full of papers, stamped images and die cuts all in autumnal colours, as I'm trying to use some of my previously stamped/ inked up stuff I had  a play and ended up with three finished cards and this is one of them, the tree stamp in the middle is one of my favourite Crafty Individual stamps and has been very well used over the years! I think the woodgrain stamp is Stampin Up and no idea whose the dies are.  I'd like to enter this into a couple of challenges

Country View Crafts Challenges - Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness

Animals

 It's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time the theme is "Animals, real or imaginary"

The design team have some great samples over on the challenge blog so I hope you will pop over and visit them.  For my card I have used a Pink Ink stamp set and a Lavinia stencil for the background, love the eyelashes on this fun giraffe !

Keep It Simple

 The challenge this week at Try It On Tuesday is Keep It Simple.  For my card I have used a Woodware stamp I've had for ages at never used.  It reminds me of how children draw flowers so I've coloured it with bright colours that I think they would use.  I did have a hard time not adding anything to all that white space !   The design team have lovely samples over on the challenge site so I hope you will visit them.

ATCs

 I used to make ATC's a lot years ago and at one time ran a swap group with a friend, I have noticed that they seem to be having a new lease of life and thought I'd have a play as a change from card making which I seem to be not doing much of recently.  I made these for the Male Room challenge which is masculine ATCs.

Say It With Flowers

 It's a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday and this time the challenge is Say It With Flowers.The design team have some lovely inspiration for you over on the challenge blog so I hope you will pay them a visit.My card is a very simple one, just a bunch of spring flowers and some background stencilling I was undecided as to whether I would make it into an Easter card or a Birthday card so have left the sentiment for later.  

My second card is Say It With Flowers for Ukraine, so terrible what is happening there. I have used their national flower and the colours of their flag.
