There is a new challenge over at A Blog Named Hero - to use embossing, wet or dry on your card.
I love using embossing powder - it always look like magic when it melts :)
I have used Hero Art's Tiny Flags stamp and white embossed it. I have used distress inks to watercolour the background - chipped sapphire, salty ocean, broken china and tumbled glass. I stamped the sentiment from Mama Elephant's fab Hustle set. I like the pooling of colours that the watercolouring gives between the embossed triangles.
On this card I have white embossed part of Hero Arts Zig Zag background and used a sentiment from Mama Elephant's Smitten set. A few pearls and strip of dark blue cardstock to finish.
I hope you will play along with the challenge - I look forward to seeing what you create :)
Remember there is a great prize from our fab sponsors:
And Mama Elephant have offered to give 2 stamp sets away as well :)
Happy crafting! Thanks for stopping by :)
