Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest - Wendy Cranford

Welcome and thank you for joining me in a special Crazy Crafters team blog hop.

We are hopping with a special guest - The very creative Wendy Cranford.

The theme of this blog hop was to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) one of Wendy's cards.


Here is the card of Wendy's that I chose to CASE:

I chose this card of Wendy's because I loved the subtle detail created by the clear embossing. I have a jar of clear embossing powder which I have to say I have never even opened, so I was keen to give this embossing technique a try. To checkout Wendy's card in more detail click here.


Here is my version:

My card base uses Whisper White and I created my coloured strip using my Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie & Daffodil Delight ink pads and some sponge daubers to create a random pattern on some white cardstock, which I sprayed with water once I'd finished to blend the colours.

After letting my strip dry, I stamped the large vine from the Falling Flowers stamp set in Versamark and then heat embossed in Clear.

My sentiment is stamped in Melon Mambo and comes from the retired Painted Petals stamp set.

The flowers are all from the Falling Flowers stamp set and were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured using alcohol markers - I used the retired Blendabilities in Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive. Once coloured, the flowers were cut out using the co-ordinating May Flowers framelits.
