Embossing - Good Doggie...

Good Morning everyone!  Hope you are all staying warm and cozy on these brisk fall mornings.  Our leaves are nearly all down....so, soon the clean up begins.


Today's challenge at Charisma Cardz calls for embossing...so I wanted to try something a little different.  After embossing the stripes with my Sizzix texture plate, I first applied some DI with my brayer, and then I added some stamping...with a script stamp and black ink.  This cute image is from Meljen's Designs, one of our sponsors this week, and I've coloured it up with copics.

I've kept it light with the additional elements, so that it might actually go in the post.  I've used liquid pearls instead of the real thing (lol), and a few punched flowers and a swirl.  If you look close, you will also see a little doodling.  The butterfly is ages old, recently discovered in my stash.

Our sponsors this week with some wonderful prizes are:

PRIZE ONE



and

PRIZE TWO
 

offering 4 Digis of the lucky winners choice!!
 
Now, be sure to check out the fab creations from our DT.....lots of inspiration there to start your day!  We look forward to seeing what you create this week, and hope to see you in the challenge!
