Striking in Black!

Hello all and I hope that you've had a good week? And oh am I glad it's the weekend! I feel as if I've been busy doing all sorts this week - so looking forward to the weekend. A friend and I have decided to do a stall at a Christmas gift and craft fair in a few weeks so I'm busy thinking and trying out things I can make. My friend makes wonderful bags and all sorts of goodies and I'm going to make some crochet gifts and papercraft gifts - so that should keep me busy! I'll be putting plenty on here over the next few weeks to see what you think.

But before all that, I am VERY late in posting for today's new challenge over at CraftyCatz! We had some stunning entries last week for the autumn challenge so we're looking forward to seeing what you talented crafters can come up with this week for the challenge  that our lovely Aunty Sue has set this week of "Black and another colour" and a prize of 3 digis from the Stamping Boutique for the winner.

For my card I decided to get the heat tool out and brush the dust off the embossing powders! I haven't done any heat embossing for ages - and really enjoyed doing it (although I'm not too convinced by the success of my efforts lol)

The papers are from Kanban that were in my stash. I've added gold mirri card, some rolled roses, and some die cut leaves (using a Poppystamps meadow leaf die). The sentiment stamp is from Inkylicious, stamped in versamark and using gold embossing powder.  The black and gold ribbons are from stash.

So do pop over to Crafty Catz and see the fabulous DT inspiration - and then join us with your creations!

Back soon,

Kim x
