Calendar challenge #12

from The Craft Barns blog says:

Hi everyone, 

Well, that's it... last calendar challenge for this year. 
I hope you enjoyed making them. I sure loved visiting your blog every week. 

Theme this week:

EMBOSSING

I used dry embossing on the big snowflake and heat embossing on the smaller ones; cobber, clear and glitter. I did emboss the big snowflake underneat too but I covered it with tissue paper and gesso, which shouldn't have been that white!

I used the sketch from 

The Craft's Meow Store blog

Middelalderfest

I lørdags var jeg til 50 års fødselsdagsfest i cafeen på Koldinghus Slot, der lå i kælderen i det gamle forrådskammer, der stødte op til "fangekælderen" - sammen aften var vi inviteret til "Middelalderfest" ved min mands søster og svoger i anledning af deres Kobberbryllup - derfor forlod jeg første fest efter kaffen og kørte til Middelalderfest.

Surprise; værtsparret plus flere af gæsterne var klædt i det mest fantastiske "middelaldertøj", manden min i munketøj, så når jeg blev spurgt: "Hvorfor kommer du først nu?" var det lidt fedt at kunne svare: "Jeg har været i fangekælderen". LOL

Dette er kortet jeg lavede til kobberbryllupsbrudeparret.

og så lidt ekstra kort og tags af "de fine sager" , der var tilbage på bordet

TH distress inks: dusty concord, barn door and agede mahogny.

I do not celebrate Halloween even I think it looks pretty cool, but I wanted to make something weird or spooky and somehow did EYES keep popping up in my mind.

The Craft Barn have have done an oil pastel week, but mine has not arrived yet so I usede Prismacolors for the "eye" and Inktense for the rest.
For once did my highligt stay where I wantede useing the talentede  Lovely Linda's Craft Central! "LOC Spotlight Designer and Crayon Resist Tutorial"
On Tando Creative Online Classes did I see a tutorial about adding texture paste through a mask which I really had to try with my new stencil from dylusions. When it was dry did I ad shadows and Glimmer Glaze to make the raised parts more white and shiny.
