Guest Design for AAA cards challenge blog
Hello everyone!
As you read it from the title I am so very excited to tell you that I was asked by lovely Jane from AAA cards challenge blog to be their guest design for the Game #72- New to you Technique
This is also my very first time guest designing and I was nervous but totally enjoyed the experience.
When Jane told me the challenge I was so glad since I got some techniques that I haven't tried yet , now was the perfect moment.
I made some cards I admit :) just because I wanted to find the perfect card for this challenge and this was the one I like it the best!
If you wandering what ''the new to me technique'' i used in this card is : embossing with dies!
I always wanted to embossed with dies but since I got just the basic shapes and some words dies and no Sizzix silicone rubber i never try it.
But i recently got this tag and cute floral die cuts from Create a smile and i also saw on You tube that people actually embossed with fun foam and i did it too .
I loved it and now one technique from my To Do list checked :)
For the flowers i colored with Stabilo Markers on watercolor paper and then die cut with Cool Cuts from Create a Smile and arranged them into a beautiful bouquet !
To add a bit of color behind my bouquet and to make the tag pop a bit I inked blended some Teeny Bikini from Simon Says Stamp.
The sentiment is from Create a Smile - Lovely Critters stamp set! And my card was finished!
Thank you so much for having me as Guest Design , was such a wonderful experience!
Thank you for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

How clever to emboss with fun foam!! This worked out perfectly - I love the way you used the die as a backdrop to set off the flowers on this gorgeous card. Thank you so much for guest designing with us at AAA Cards.
