NEW ARRIVALS!!

HOORAY!!  My new products arrived this morning and couldn't wait to play. 

CARD 1:

Using the gorgeous new  Testure Chic DSP all I did was cut a strip of one of the sheets of DSP about 5cms in width.  Used a retired hexagon embossing folder to emboss the white card stock base.  Also used an old hexagon punch I found in my stash and cut a small hexagon out of the dsp and a larger one in gold, adhered a sentiment which I had heat embossed in gold.  I then mounted it all onto a piece of petal pink cardstock and then onto the card base which is Pool Party.

CARD 2.
 
So while I had the DSP out thought I would make another card and as I don't have a lot of sympathy cards in my collection, (hopefully don't have to use them!) you just never know!  So I made this next card with another page of the Texture Chic DPS whic I use to mount an embossed piece of white cardstock.  The embossing folder is a newbie and its a beauty!  I think I will be using it a lot in the next few weeks.  It's called Elegant Eucalyptus.  Very appropriate for us Aussies!   So after I embossed the white I felt it needed a little more gold so I light rubbed my versamark ink pad over the embossed image and then applied heat and stick powder and heated.  I then rubbed over the gilded gold flakes very light just to give a little gold edge to the embossed imaged.  I heat embossed the sentiment from the Nature's Harvest stamp set then added a gold bow.  I mounted it on a soft succluent card base.

CARD 3
I really had fun making this card this morning.  I cut out one of the flower bunches from the Abigai Rose DSP and used my alchol ink blending pens to colour.  Here are the pens I used. 
I Also used another piece from the DSP (the Petal Pink and white sgriped background paper) and heat embossed in gold around the edges.  I used the Natural Finish ribbon which comes in the suite to wrap around the card front.  Heat embossed the Best Wishes sentiment from the Cottage Rose stamp set and put it altogether.  I used the gorgeous gold butterflies to add a little gold embellishment to the card.
