For this particular product challenge Louise N thought she would show you something just a little bit different. For this layout Louise has used one of the texture fades embossing plates [Cross Stitch] to emboss a pattern into texture paste on the layout background. This was then highlighted with the use of 2 different shades of mist.

Kim has used the Sizzix texture fades bubbles and honeycomb set to great effect in this layout. She has used the honeycomb pattern along the long cream strip to add texture to what would otherwise be a plain paper. Kim has then lightly inked over the raised design so that it is more noticeable. Kim has then used the other texture plate design (bubbles) on the punched stars which she used, along with the decorative brads from My Minds Eye, to create the eye catching strip between the two photos. Kim has shown the flexibility of the texture plates and how adding texture to a layout adds interest to what might otherwise be quiet plain elements.

Jane just loves using embossing on her cards because it gives them great texture and looks cool. One of Jane’s favourite methods with using them is to apply a water-based ink pad to one side of the folder and run it through with white card, in this sample she has used worn lipstick and the Chevron Textured Impression plate, it’s a great way to add colour and gives a slightly distress look. The same was done again using Distress Ink crushed olive and a section was trimmed following the lines of the design and added on top.

Jane cut strips from the white embossed Chevron design and used them as arrows on her card, she then used a circular mask and covered an area on the white embossed Flourish piece. Glimmer Mist key lime pie was sprayed over it, a few extra drops were then added after the mask was removed.
