I bet you thought I'd disappeared off the face of the earth!!
I've been away on holiday for over 3 weeks and forgot to photograph the cards I'd made to blog while I ws away - so I decided gave myself the month off lol.... since I got home I've had a busy time preparing for my grand daughter's christening (I'll share some of my makes when I get myself organised - I love baby crafting) - its taken me until now to catch up with myself!!
But I'm here today because its challenge day at
and our theme this week is
Embossing
(any kind wet or dry)
I used the lovely Rowena for this card
a steam punk inspired creation with a floral twist!

Hi Judith! Lovely to see you back and I hope you have had some fabulous travels! Making baby things is such a joy I agree, so hope we will get to see your creations for the christening.
Your card today is stunning and I love the darker colours and gothic/steampunk style you gave it. It's a great choice to match the image, which you have coloured brilliantly. The different embossings really add to the whole steampunk feel too and add lovely texture.
Big hugs, Kat xx
So lovely to see you back Judith, I hope you had a lovely time. This is a fantastic creation to come back with sweetie.
