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

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 !
