WOYWW........

Well did get to hospital yesterday......had all my injections in my both eye areas, jaw, chin, neck shoulder and back so nice and sore and still but will take effect over the next week or so and will be a lot better for another 3 months, yay!

My desk hasn't been touched much since the weekend as I have been rough.... you can see lots of DT work and other cards too, but at least the mess has been cleaned up, lol!

As soon as I have more movement I'm sure it will be messy again and yep back to work tomorrow!

I still haven't managed to get around everyone's blogs to have a nose but I will one day I promise!

Digi Heat Embossing Tutorial

Happy Tuesday all, it’s tutorial Tuesday with meover at Digitail Delights.....

Well I’ve had a mad idea this week…not sure if it will work but gonna give it a go!  My tutorial for today came to mind when I was sorting out my tool draw…. I came across my embossing pen that I bought way back and never used, so I thought about whether you can print off a digi and emboss the image?

So today’s tutorial is…..

Digi Heat Embossing

Heat Embossing is very useful when colouring projects as the raised lines help to give a clean definition and you don’t have to worry about being too neat and going out of the lines….. Heat embossing gives a shiny raised image which adds a lovely finishing touch to any projects and can give digi images a hand stamped finished.
