I think Jayda has done a great job of this painting. It's her third acrylic painting on canvas.

Vellum with markers & dry embossing

 I had made these cards a little while ago, it's just taken a bit to get them on here.
The images are stamped onto vellum with Black StazOn and coloured with Stampin' Write Markers, then flipped over to press out a small section with a stylus (dry embossing).

Stamp set: Giggle Greetings & Dotty Angles.

Card stock: Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, So Saffron, Whisper White, dsp & Vellum.

Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Island Indigo, So Saffron & Black StazOn.

Extras: Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Bermuda Bay Ribbon & Washi Tape.

This close up is to show you that I've dry embossed the candle & the flame.

( it looks better in real life)

Stamp set: Giggle Greetings.

Card stock: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, dsp & Vellum.

Ink: Black StazOn, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip, Calypso Coral & White Chalk.

Extras: Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Dots & Stripes Mask (+Spray), Linen Thread, Natural Ribbon, Burlap & Mini Silver Brads.

I'm not sure if you can see from the photo, but I've dry embossed the ears, eyes nose & tongue.

To dry emboss an image; stamp & colour onto vellum, then turn over and use a stylus to press a small section of the image. It's best to have your stamping foam mat or a foam block underneath the vellum.

The heart on the right has been dry embossed, and though you can't tell from the picture the heart is raised and you can feel the shape of it when you run your finger over the top.

Christmas Baubles, A Bowls of Cherries, Shakers & a little Surprise

It seem like it takes me ages to the pictures up after I've made the cards...But I guess they don't always end up on here in the same order that I make them in. Sometimes it's because I might colour-in an image but not make it into a card...for a very long time ...well I actually made this one into a card recently- finally.

Stamps: Christmas Bauble & Good Greetings.
Card stock: Rich Razzleberry, Night of Navy, Brushed Gold & Whisper White.

This was another one of those ones that I had coloured-in, left laying around for ages, then found the red card base I had used as a demonstration  but only for the framelit flip part, (no decorating) & thought why not put the two together...

I used an Aqua Painter & ink to watercolour the image after embossing with black. I also added a bit of White Chalk Pen to the Cherries & a Smoky Slate shadow. 

I seen a version of this card while surfing for ideas one day. Mine is similar to the one I had seen, but I didn't have the stamp set they had used, & the colours are different too.
