Treats on Tueseday at Magenta

Hi Everyone, I'm over at Magenta with some distress oxide and embossing powder. The white embossing on a blended background was a technique that Linda (Lin's Craft Corner) showed us at the Craft retreat in May. This was certainly a wow technique and lots of fun, I hope you head over and find out what tips to the technique I've included.

This is one of the most beautiful stamps ever for a simpler masculine card. I bought it with no regrets. Love how it works with almost any background so thank you so much for the inspiration. I bought it after seeing your work with it. We all find masculine cards difficult but this stamp makes it so easy!

I love both of these cards, Christine! This stamp is at the top of my Magenta wish list! I especially love how you got very different looks by changing the color of the stamping and backgrounds.

The first card recalls from memory a summer evening at the lake. But the second card is so surreal, I have the impression that the world on this card is covered with a layer of frost and illuminated by the full sun. Such an amazing impression, Christine.

Love both versions, Christina! The color combo for the background and the color of the silhouette are perfect for each card. Fabulous smooth ink blending!

These cards are so atmospheric with their perfectly blended backgrounds and that beautiful stamp. I'm a sucker for white-embossing, so I think that one just edges in as my favourite, though I do like the more traditional black silhouette too. Thank you for your recent visit and lovely comment over at Words and Pictures.

I love this heron in the reeds which is such a beautiful and peaceful scene Christine, and great in both black and white with the wonderful coloured background. x
