Goodbye October from Diecut Divas

Well its time to say farewell to October over at Diecut Divas, where is this year going I ask you. This month our fantastic sponsor was the Stamping Boutique and for my last project for this month I have still featured embossing on it. Here it is:
Diecut Divas, Stamping Boutique Flower Cart

Card Tip:
To achieve this effect all you need is any embossing folder and a diffuser. You replace your second plate with the diffuser when you are running it through your machine. The one I used had a oval cut out which means it embosses everywhere except where the cut out is.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock: Quill pink card stock, Kaszazz Lemon A5 card base.
Stamps: The Stampers Boutique Flower Cart.
Ink: Distress ink spun sugar on the background.
Markers:
               Tyres: C7+C5+C3
               Flowers: V04, RV04, B05,
               Cart: BG02+BG05+BG07, R37
               Umbrella: Y02+Y06+Y08,RV04
               Butterfly: RV66
Dies / Embossing Folder: Cottage Crafts thinking of you, Darice flower frenzy folder.

Anything but a Card at Morgans ArtWorld

With an Anything but a Card challenge this fortnight over at Morgans ArtWorld I thought this was a perfect opportunity to create a bookmark for my daughter and this is what I came up with:



Card Tip:
This is where digital images really come into their own, what you can't see in my images is that the butterfly is double sided. This is easy to do with a digital image as it is easy to perfectly flip your image and then print and colour the two of them at the same time.

Card Ingredients:
Card Stock: Francheville pink and white card stock.
Markers:
               Butterflies: BG02+BG05+BG07, B21+B23+B24+B91 
               V12+V15+V17, BV00+BV02+BV04, 
               RV02+RV04+RV06, YG23, Y13,YR04
Embossing Folder: Simply Card Magazine free border embossing folder.
Other: Pink ribbon from stash, pink,purple and blue gems, Marco Raffine pencils for added colour to flowers.
