This week our list Mom gave us a sketch to work with. This is one of those sketches I think I will go back to over and over again. It was a nice clean sketch that I had fun creating a card for.
I've been using my embossing powders more this year that I ever have before. I have so many more supplies that have not seen the light of day in over a year...do you have supplies like that? I need to start using more of them and more frequently.
I know that I used this same technique a few weeks ago for one of the other challenges, but I can't seem to steer myself away from it! I embossed my image with clear embossing powder and used a sponge dauber to color over my image. I distressed my whole card and I really need to buy the new Zutter Distrezz-it-all. I used this at CHA and fell in love with it. I think I need this tool!
Make sure to check out the blogger's challenge gals creations this week. I always love to see how different they all look from one another.
Have a great weekend, I hope to get lots of stamping done!
