Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge - 2 August 2013 - Embossing - Wet or Dry or Both

It is time for another challenge over at the Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge Blog.  This fortnight the challenge is "embossing - wet or dry or both".
For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamps image by Ching-Chou Kuik called "White Peacock Dryad".  This image is available as a individual rubber stamp, on a stamp plate (Sheet 27, Plate 86 - it comes on a stamp plate with Ching-Chou Kuik's Jeweled, Radiant Butterfly and Field of Poppies) and also as a digital stamp. For my card I have used the rubber stamp and coloured it in with Promarkers/Flexmarkers and highlighted areas with a white gel pen.  I decided not to used any patterned backing paper as I wanted to use a new embossing folder and stamp set I got free with a magazine.  I highlighted the peacock embossing detail with a green Pan Pastel.  I have made the flowers with layers die-cut from a book and inked with Tim Holtz's Pine Needles and Peeled Paint distress ink, screwed them up and then held the layers together with brads.  I have finished the card off with the stamped frame/small peacock image that came with the magazine, card candi, raffia ribbon, Craftwork Cards die-cut sentiment, organza ribbon, peacock charm with some memory wire threaded through it.

Making flowers from book pages is really so much fun and your really add a certain extra bit of glitz. The dry emboss is great on this layered beauty.
