More worldly designs

Here are my other two creations from Nichole Heady's WCMD challenges. The third challenge was to be inspired by India and use some sort of gem or rhinestones. I chose some vibrant colours, added a fun circular design, a bit of gold, and of course, gem stones!

The final challenge was to be inspired by Australia and to use one of two techniques. I went with the reverse masking. I stamped the leaves on white cardstock, embossed them, then sponged rust ink all around. I ended up cutting it out, but it's got a cool softer look compared to white embossing on coloured cardstock.


Supplies: Stamps: Simply Stationery, Birthday Basics, Beautiful Blooms, Polka Dot Basics II Ink: Dark Chocolate, Raspberry Fizz, Gold, Versamark Paper: Kraft, Really Rust, Dark Chocolate, White, Raspberry Fizz, Bermuda Bay Accessories, etc.: Gold Cord, clear embossing powder, scalloped punch, corner punch, pop dots, tag die cut, rhinestones
