Finally - some craft!!!!

 Well, we made it home safe and sound!!!! And it was AWESOME!!!! I have to laugh at myself though - while we were there most of the time I couldn't stop thinking about how much I missed my babies and I missed CARBS like you wouldn't believe, and then we get back home and all I want to do is be on holiday again eating rice and seaweed!!!! The grass is always greener hey.....hehehehhe. It was a wonderful wonderful experience and I'll share a few more photo's with you in the coming weeks...

But onto craft!!! This is one of the cards we made at my Technique Class this past Saturday. I am in love with this card. Its one I have been wanting to try for a while....I saw the original idea on Nichole Heady's blog years ago (well, maybe only 1 year ago! :)) but haven't had the embossing tools to give it a go - but now I do!!! Happy me! I love these colours together - so reminds me of beautiful nature. Green is an all time favourite, especially paired with craft. And don't you just love this dsp - saves my poor Anne of Green Gables book from further desecration! hehehehe (don't worry - I had a spare copy and used that...)

Basically, you just stamp the image in Versamark, cover with clear embossing powder, heat set, then use a brayer to moosh colour over the embossed image. We were all a bit amateur with the brayer and definitely need more practice with that tool! But all in all very happy with the result!

My house is still a bit topsy turvy and my craft area is a mess but hoping to clean it up asap and get into it again, I've really really missed it!

Thanks for stopping by - come again soon as I'll have another card from our class to show you.
