Last Stamping Bella BellarifficFriday of 2014

Hi!! I can hardly believe that 2014 is nearly over, another year flown by in the blink of an eye! :o This is my last Bellariffic Friday card for 2014. 

We had this sketch...

and this was my take on it. 

The papers are from the Heirloom collection by Mind's Eye. I cut the hearts from one of the papers and stuck them down flat onto the lined paper adding a flossed button to the centre of one heart. I stamped the sentiment, from Serena has a Sign, onto cream card, added a 3d foam dot to rise the middle of it, and adhered it to the card. The postmark stamps are from the Grungy Set which is,  unfortunately, retired. 

Well that's it from me for now, with only 5 days to Christmas and still so much to do, panic is starting to set in. I need to start making list and check them twice actually cross things off!

WOW! Embossing - Memories Layout

Hi! Today I am sharing my take on this month's WOW! Embossing powder challenge theme, which is 

Memories

I created a scrapbook layout using various stamps, powders and other WOW! Embossing products

The papers I'm using are 12th Teacup and Overused Tablecloth, from 7 Dots Studios's Domestic Goddess collection. 

On the background papers I stamped the Canvas with London Fog ink, then Funky Border Strips with Victorian Velvet distress inks. I used the Alpha Set to add the year the layout. 

For the flowers I used Foil Melt-It cases and combined some Melt-It powder with embossing powders. To melt the powders together I heated from underneath the foil case using the WOW! Heat Tool. 

I used Apple Red Ultra High, Red Glitz Embossing Glitter and Gold Satin Pearl to emboss the wooden embellishments on the layout. 

WOW! Products used:

Foil Melt-It cases

WOW! Embossing Heat Tool.
