Can you believe it's June already....where did May go. As today is the first Monday of the month, it is also time for another fun hop with the Just Inlined DT. Karen is our charming hostess today, and she's chosen EMBOSSING as our theme. Now, you should have arrived here from the talented Jeni's blog, but if you are just starting out, be sure to head back over to Karen's blog....where all the fun begins! Once again, remember to leave some comments along the way, for your chance at the mystery spotlight prizes.
I've gone with a Christmas image this time, after all.....we're nearly half way there! This one is called Letter to Santa, and is available with either a boy or a girl. I've coloured with copics, inking the background with DI and adding some sparkle for the snow. The gold sparkly circle is actually a sticker....something I picked up on my travels, and my embossing can be found on the layer beneath that. I've used it in reverse, so that the dots are inverted. This allowed me to sponge DI over the paper, leaving the dots white to simulate falling snow. For the final layer, I cut a circle from some DP, and then removed the center using my Nestie die.
And now you go on to see what lovely creation Jak will be sharing with us today. I do hope you enjoyed your visit, and all your other stops along the way. Here's wishing you a lovely crafty day!
