Heat Embossing on Adhesive

This is very late but I decided to at least post of picture of my card from last weeks A*Muse Challenge. So here it is I took strips of adhesive tape and heat embossed it with white and silver embossing powder. I used Kindred Spirits to stamp behind in Heather and Latte Ink.

Snowflakes

This weeks challenge on the A|Muse Consultant Challenge Blog was Snowflakes.
I was inspired to use the color combo by this blog post

I used a paint brush for the background and embossed the snowflakes in white and clear embossing powders. The A|muse snowflake die was used on Blackberry cardstock along with pink felt I picked up from Joann's. grey Shimmer paper and eucalyptus paper were used for the sentiment border. and a little bling to the center of the snowflakes. I also used a strip of Heather across the back.

the sentiment is non A\Muse.

I really like this color combo! Shell/Sky/Heather very cool for winter.

Metal Embossing

The challenge for the A|Muse Studio consultant challenge blog was Metal embossing. I had to research the topic a bit before I was able to get started. Most of the tutorials I found used heavy duty foil found in the grocery department and I picked up just the regular cheap version :) so what I did was fold the foil in fourths to get it thicker before running it through the big shot to cut out the stocking. After that I used embossing plate by Sizzix and Basic Grey, if memory serves me correctly I think the line is called Figgy Pudding. Slate, Cherry, and Cherry Woodsgrain, and Shimmer Grey paper from A|Muse. The sentiment is from Mini Holiday Messages from A|muse embossed in white powder. I also used some Washi tape from the A|Muse holiday collection.

Grace and I

I got a few short minutes to play around. It's been a long week. So this was fun. Even Grace joined in, she did the flower card :)
