Challenge 18- 2011 - Flourishes and Embossing

Good Afternoon All,

Congratulations to the winners of the Red Hat Challenge.....now we are on to the next one...number 18. Its my (Diane) turn again for setting the challenge, and I have chosen Flourishes and Embossing. Any Flourishes and any kind of Embossing is acceptable. You can make anything you like....card, project, scrapbook...whatever takes your fancy!

We have a great sponsor for this challenge in Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps,

As always our sponsor has been very generous and offered a prize for the entry the design team judge to be the best. If you are lucky enough to be chosen as the best you will win a $10 coupon to choose digistamps of your choice from the Stitchy Bear Digistamps Store. The winner will also be asked if they would like to join the Design Team as a Guest Designer in an upcoming challenge.
The entrance receiving most votes from the public will also be invited to join us as a Guest Designer.
Now for some Design Team examples to get you going:-
Guest Designer Colette used the Hat Silhouette - Feather Flourish image on her gorgeous sparkly shiney bling card with real feathers!
Guest Designer: the very talented Bev G joins us again and also used the Hat Silhouette - Feather Flourish image for a different and very elegant card.

Spyder (Lyn)
I used 'Take Me Home Puppy' and some Pink Petticoat flourishy papers, which I've also embossed, but you can't see that here! And of course one of the Tim Holtz 'Elegant Flourishes' die cuts
Caro
couldn't resist turning the cute 'hang in there' image into a first day of school card for her son Alex. She used the fluorishes embossing folder from cuttlebug for both the fluorish and embossing elements and went with primary colours to fit with the school theme.

Caro also played with flight of fantasy as a one layer Birthday card for a girl. The wings are heat embossed with Hologram super sparkle and I used an Inkadinkado spotted fluorish stamp. (Sorry about the lighting, using the flash just bleached out the whole image).

I used the Blossom digi stamp, coloured with pro markers and flexi markers. Decoupaged and clear embossed ( pants picture...doesn't show it...sorry folks!) Flourish and Love cut by Gazzelle, oval mat cut by Gazzelle and edge embossed nestie style using the cuttlebug.

Cazzy used Flights of Fantasy on acetate over sparkly moon glitter card. Sizzix embossing folder with Cordinations black magic, and Sizzlet flourish dies, embossed silver card with punched corners.
Cazzy's second card uses the Parrot image, Sizzix flourishes with Prima flowers, and panel embossed with Cuttlebug folder, finally the sentiment is heat embossed with gold EP.
