I am really enjoying participating in challenges lately. This time, there is an interesting challenge over at Papertrey on Layered Embossing. Confession time... I have not tried embossing before although I had good intentions. I have my embossing powders and heat gun to prove it. Somehow, I just feel intimidated with that technique. I finally gathered up the courage to try this and it was a lot of fun.
I also checked what is happening over at CAS-ual Fridays and found that this week's challenge is to create a CAS (clean and simple) card that has a long and short side. Sounds fun!
I made this card for a friend who will be celebrating her birthday in Feb. Here is my 4x8 card...
I used Papertrey Ink stamp (Sentiment Signs, Ribbons and Bows, Funky Florals), cardstock (berry sorbet), ink (smokey shadow) and patterned paper (striped smokey shadow). I also used Versamark ink, SU white embossing powder and Ranger polysparkle powder. Love the shine and sparkle from the clear embossing powder.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oooh, more red and black-- lovely! I love the size of this card, Irma and the stamps you paired for the challenge!
