Addicted to Embossing... *Day 2*

Penny Black 40-193 Wistful is such a unique and artsy image.  To create this card, I began by embossing the image with white embossing powder and then applying Distress Ink over the image. I used the following colors: Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint, Evergreen Bough, and Chipped Sapphire.  And, of course, I couldn't resist adding some punched butterflies!

Wishing YOU a happy day! See ya tomorrow!

Addicted to Embossing.... *Day 1*

I love using embossing on my projects so this week I thought I'd share three cards I created, each featuring embossing.  For today's card, I embossed Penny Black 40-198 Every Happiness with white embossing powder.  I then colored the images using Memento Markers.  Love that I didn't have to worry about getting outside the lines, as the marker ink wipes right off the embossed areas.  The sentiment is by Penny Black, 30-160 Friendship.

Color Inspiration, Day 4

I reached for my favorite colors (again!)...

to create today's card...

To begin, I stamped Penny Black 4300K Melle Papillon with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her in with Copic markers.  The background, Penny Black 40-201 Roman Surround, was stamped using VersaMagic in the color of Sea Breeze.  Finally, the sentiment, Penny Black 40-198 Every Happiness was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Wishing you a wonderful, creative weekend!

Color Inspiration, Day 3

Today I've chosen two colors from some of my favorites to create a clean and simple card...

I stamped Penny Black 4310K Verdant using Colorbox Chalk Ink and then stamped my sentiment, Penny Black 30-162 Elequence, using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. I distressed the edges using my Tim Holtz edge distressing tool and finally I added a couple of punched butterflies (Martha Stewart) to finish things off.

See you tomorrow with one more card...

Happy Stamping!
