Morning all, Val has selected the theme at Allsorts this time round, it's Embossing dry or wet, or as always theres the A/G option and a super prize of matching embossing folder and stencils from Lisa Horton Crafts. It's also mid way time at Tag-Along (and ATC's) where we are following Pinky's Add a Number theme.
In a crafty clear out I found a pack of A5 frames so used one to create the card above, an inky offcut stamped over with an A&C background stamp and heat embossed with detail white, then two Butterflies which are also A&C stamped onto vellum, again heat embossed, coloured on the reverse and cut out.
My tag above uses a retired A&C set, stamped with Versamark onto black card and brushed over with several colours of mica powder. The clocks were stamped again, coloured in the same way and fixed with twine to hang from the word, also A&C.
I seem to have two ATC's both using old A&C stamps, the first onto a Gelli Plate offcut, the flower stamped with Versafine Clair, another number stamped then and a bow tied across. The Nuthatch stamped onto another inky offcut, the little feet come in the same set but looking at it now not too sure they look like feet!

you have made beautiful projects Brenda......gr karin
Your makes are as always beautiful and inspirational impossible to choose a favourite
I really don't know how you manage to turn out so many beautiful creations together Brenda, they are so remarkable. xx
The layered textures in your first card are gorgeous, especially the way the white embossing lifts the inky background and gives the butterflies such a soft, luminous presence. The sunflower and roses piece has wonderful depth too, with the honeycomb peeking through the arch and that unexpected lilac adding a lovely contrast. Your tag and ATCs show such confident use of color and mixed media; the mica on black is striking, and the little nuthatch on the inky offcut has so much charm.
