Love is in the air! :)

Hi Everyone,
This is Hussena here bringing you the inspiration for our this month's challenge which is "Expressions of Love" set by our very creative and talented Dt member Shalini Pahwa!...As this is a Valentine month & love seems to be on everybody's mind I am sharing a card made with embossing & hearts of course!..So here's a look at my work :-

                                                     

As I was given Zing Embossing Powder & Versamarker embossing pen to work with I went ahead & used this to emboss the below stamped doily lace & the strip above which was stamped with Hero Arts stamp -Damask Pattern , emobssed & then colored with Distress Ink -Festive Berries ...The two heart cut -outs & the butterfly are embossed with the Ranger Super Fine clear embossing powder!..And colored using Distress Inks -Festive Berries ,Shabby Shutters ,Mustard Seed & Tumbled Glass..!!
 For those of you who are new to embossing like Me you will be surprised by how easy it is to use embossing ink & powders to create beautiful projects!..They add such a nice shine & dimension to your projects & look really very beautiful..Here's a close -up of the butterfly & the doily lace which has been embossed :-

And I am showing you another view of the card where the embossing on the butterfly is very clearly visible as when the light hits the embossed part it gives such a nice glow :-

                                                                             

                                                               
Can you see the way when the light hits the embossed part how it shines..??..It really looks beautiful in person...Even the two hearts have  been embossed using Ranger Super Fine Embossing Powder!..

Crafters Corner Challenge#5 : Expressions of Love

Hi Everyone
Shalini Pahwa here. First of all I thank everyone for participating in our January challenge and the winner will be announced on 5th Feb. It was really nice to have received your wonderful response. The prizes of the challenge, “Magnolia magazine", was also greatly appreciated. Thanks again. And now it is the time to introduce our new challenge for the month of February.

February is a typical month – smaller than any other month but perhaps most important for everyone in love with craft… The month is named after Latin term “februum” which means purification. February has something which no other month could have… It harbingers the beginning of spring, the fragrance of flowers in the air, the swings on trees, the month of blossom and a month of love… Hence, here we are to celebrate February – the month of Love, with our challenge – “Expressions of Love”.

A famous American TV star and author Barbara De Angelis described the emotions of love as “Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible, it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could”.

To honor and express this wonderful emotion of love in our own way, we call upon all craft artists to participate in this unique challenge. Be it a card, a bookmark, a tag, a frame, etc… only thing that it should highlight is the amazing passion of love.

Below is creations of our DT team for this challenge. Their creations will surely be an inspiration for you to be in love again…
