Fast and Fabulous Friday - Hey There Buds in Colour!

Hey there Friends

Blushing Bride Embossing Powder

Crushed Curry Embossing Powder

Must be fast.  

The card.  

And the post.


So what quicker way to make a card than to stamp, emboss, glue and done?


In fact, it was so quick that I duplicated the card in 2 of my new Embossing Powder colours to see how it would look.

 

Which one do you prefer?  The Blushing Bride card or the Crushed Curry card?

And on that note ......
Must.  Be.  Fast.

Gotta run.  And you should too.
(but don't forget to sign up for my repeat Christmas in July Class - details here)

Have a WONDERFUL weekend and God Bless,

Multi-Coloured Chalkboard Technique and a Video!!

Well friends, this is it.

If all goes well, when I hit "Publish" there will actually be a video linked to this post.  I hope it works.  And if it does work, you can all watch and see how easy it is to do mutli-coloured embossing as a Chalkboard technique.

This is my first attempt at a video.  I hope it was successful.  Let me know what you think!  I'll be very interested in your comments.

In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend (a long weekend for the US and for many of us in Canada).  God Bless,       ~Cynthia   <><

Fast & Fabulous Chalkboard Swallowtail

Good Morning Friends

Remember when we were kids and we used all sorts of wonderful colours of chalk to create works of art on the chalkboard?  Well, I decided to use coloured embossing powder to try to achieve the same effect.  Naturally I wanted to re-create the chalkboard technique I showed yesterday.  So although this card may look like it took time (because of the multiple colours), it is really just various colours of embossing powder and took no time at all.  See?  Fast.  And fabulous!
     (Added note:  See the video to re-create this technique here)

I think I will do a video (!!) on the multi-coloured embossing technique so check back this weekend if you want to see how that is done.  (Gulp - there - I said it.  I am doing a video.  I've GOT to do one now!!).  I wonder....in today's day and age of white boards and "smart boards"...will kids forget what chalkboards, blackboards and coloured chalk is?  I guess not, since they will still have chalk to colour on the sidewalks.  But it just isn't the same thing in my books.  Oh well, the end of an era!
