Here is the first of my creations all based around around the Manhattan Flower Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. These folders are extremely versatile and I have only shown you a couple of ideas to get you started. Interested to learn then contact me and host a Big Shot Workshop.
This was a swap that I created for Regional Demonstrator Training that took place in Edinburgh last week. I have created a similar Mother's Day Card but used pearls for a more feminine look
SUPPLIES:
Stamp: Curly Cute, Occasional Greetings
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Card: Chocolate Chip, Blushing Bride
Dies: Manhattan Flower Textured Impression Embossing Folder
Accessories:Silver brads, Corner Rounder, Basics Pearls, Mat Pack, Piercing Tool
I love how the next card turned out. I wanted to use strong colours so teamed up Concord Crush with Tangerine Tango. I think it is quite dramatic. I have run my Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write along the edge of the raised flower - carefully - and used Tangering Tango Watercolour Wonder crayon and aquapainter to colour in the petals.
SUPPLIES:
Stamp: Growing Green
Ink: Tangerine Tango
Card: Concord Crush, Tangerine Tango, Very Vanilla
Dies: Manhattan Flower Textured Impression Embossing Folder

Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow - I hope that my In-Laws like the cards I made them!
Happy Stampin'
