Welcome back and thanks for coming!
I'm using two of my newest stamps today -- Rubbernecker Brushed Flower #6 and Special Joy -- because I always need more birthday cards. I have more new flowers from Rubbernecker and I'm loving all of them. New favorites. Just sayin'.
This is the simplest Copic coloring using only yellow and green because I'm playing along here:
It's also a very CAS design because of this challenge:
CAS Mix Up -- Embossing with Dies. Several videos are linked on the challenge blog. The one I watched is Embossed Impressions. Now I finally have a die embossing sandwich that works great! The die I used is Impression Obsession Fancy Cut Out Border. I'm ready to go again on this technique. It's way fun!
Of course, I have to link up with Darnell's NBUS Challenge #18 again, too.
That's all for today. Thank you so much!

ReplyDeleteLeslie, so elegant and classy! Beautiful embossing down the side, it just adds that bit of interest, must try this! Your flower is so sweet,loved that you cut it out and the bit of black polka dot paper, just finishes this off! You sure have been busy this week, a post every day! I'm so far behind this week, just getting caught up tonight reading my blogs before the weekend starts. Another beautiful card Leslie.
