I am carrying on my official "testing" of all my embossing folders. It's a tough job, but someones gotta do it!
For the ATC's this time, I embossed on watercolour card, then roughly followed the pattern with my Broken China and Peeled Paint Distress Markers. I like using them for this as you can be specific as to where you put your colour. I then spritzed it heavily with water, and allowed the ink to bleed and then dry.
When my backgrounds were dry, I stuck them to my ATC and trimmed off the edges. Use the peeled paint distress markers to edge the card. I then embellished using our new and beautiful vintage looking lace, then I rummaged in my stash for flowers and gems.

Hey Leonie
loving all your posts recently, your creations have been just fab!!
The colours on this card are lovely.

Anyway, hope your having a lovely weekend
Much love

I know the feeling Amanda. If I'm having blocks I do something like sort my scrap card out, do random die cuts. Something that requires no thinking. Then eventually I'll want to do something or try something - or see something that really inspires me. Frustrating isn't it! Backgrounds are good as well, just mess and don't actually try and put anything together!!
Have a lovely weekend, hope the blockage sorts itself out :) xx
Hi Leonie - I love what you have been doing with your embossing folders and markers. It looks really interesting and I think I will be having a go myself.
I have to make my 8 year old neighbour a birthday card next week and (like Amanda) I am soooo stuck for ideas. The trouble is I have so many stamps that is it difficult to choose one. I just keep looking at them - then ending up doing nothing.Think I will have to have a go at random playing and hope for the inspiration to come!
Hugs Sue Pass xx
