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!

What a fabulous card Leslie. The design layout, the gentle colouring and the dry embossing all look stunning x.

I just love this, Leslie. The clean and simple design with a bit of texture is simply fabulous. And the black an white panel just makes that pretty image pop. Really, REALLY beautiful!!!!
Leslie, your gorgeous card just gave me the last push I needed to try the technique of embossing with dies, how amazing this looks.
Your sweet little tulips really stand out with all the marvelous texture on your background.

Oh Leslie this is soooooooooo pretty! I've tried embossing with my dies but don't always have good success! Yours looks awesome and of course your flowers are beautiful! Happy, Healthy day my friend!
Beautifully coloured blooms complimented by the perfect die embossing behind. The black strip and stamping really unifies this special card. Love it. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
Such a fabulous card, Leslie, and how happy I am to see you playing at Color Hues! The whimsical flower is so pretty, and I love your touches to dress it up. The strip of DSP in bold polka dots complements the delicate embossing beautifully! Hope your day is extra-specially joyful!
Isn't that a neat technique! Another way to use with your dies! I love it and also your card! I think the black and white strip sets it off with the pretty tulips. Stay safe!
Ooooh, I love those flower - so simple and pretty! Love the simple coloring, too, and the great embossing.
That is such a lovely flower, the whole card has that elegant feel with your coloring, the pretty font on the sentiment and the embossed piece behind the flower with a touch of black w/white polka dot strip!
the simplicity of your flower against the die embossed background is stunning and so elegant :)
This is a very pretty card. I love the color scheme and the embossing on the side. Flowers are always nice on cards. Thanks for sharing about NBUS I gave it a try this week.
Beautiful texture from your die embossed side panel. The perfect background for your beautiful stamped and cut out yellow and green flowers. Loved your black narrow border strip and sentiment for your accents. TFS your CAS Mix Up...very CAS card, my friend. So pleased you joined us at CAS Mix Up. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Oh I LIKE the classy feel of the white and splash of color. The blooms cut out is awesome and I did the textured panel. Beautiful!!!
Oh wow...that is such a lovely lil bloom. And it looks amazing simply colored in yellow and green and the embossing detail is just perfect. Fab combination of challenges.
Leslie, 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.
Your designs always make me happy! LOVE this gorgeous flower ... so bright and happy in yellow and green. Great work with embossing the border with your die. It adds something special to the background. And your black polka-dot slim border is PERFECT! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
