Crafty Friends Challenge #160

Another month, another challenge. This month's theme is Use more than one die

With all the different beautiful dies out there this should not be very difficult. I created an Easel card.

For this card I used 3 different dies and a punch :-)

Crafty Friends Challenge #158

Time for a new challenge and this month's theme is Summer colours.

For this challenge I created a book card but with chocolate in the book, that way it makes a perfect small gift.

The fun image is from Bugaboo stamps, they unfortunately stopped the shop but luckily the images can still be used.

For reference here an image of summer colours to help you in this challenge.

Crafty Friends Challenge #157

Half way the year already. This month the challenge theme is Embossing (wet or dry). This challenge was a great opportunity to get my stamping supplies out of storage, I did not se them for a long time. 

This means I chose the wet embossing for a change. I have to say that colouring within the lines is much easier when you have embossed the image, also I think the lines look better with the embossing. I chose to use brown and not black to make the lines softer but clearer. 

Now the choice is yours, wet or dry?
