A BIT OF EMBOSSING..

I'm debating whether to tell you what I was presented with when I got up this morning????  Suffice to say that my dog wasn't well in the night.  Right through the bungalow from one room to the next from both ends.  YUK!  Bet that's made your day hasn't it? Ha, ha.  Can the day get better?  Hmmm, I shall see.  I am off on a craft retreat this weekend, so today I should start getting all my stuff ready.

Anyway, it's week #163 over at I ♥   PROMARKERS and this week's theme is embossing.  Heat or dry, it's entirely up to you.  We have two great sponsors. J & C CREATIONS and INKY IMPRESSIONS and the DT all used Inky Impressions images.  I used two, 'cause I couldn't decide which one to use. Umbrella Lili and Angelica Crafting.  For both cards, my embossing was done on the card itself.




The papers used on Lili were Echo Park 'For The Record' and on Angelica MME 'Fine and Dandy Girl'. On Angelica, I also used a Martha Stewart border punch, a Spellbinders corner die and a Cheery Lynn greeting die. The shading around the image was done with a pan's pastel.  Lili's raindrops were done with liquid pearls.

Entering LILI into:
CRAFTY RIBBONS #42 - Anything goes with ribbon.
CRAFT YOUR PASSION #157 - Water, water everywhere.
PAPER MAKEUP #83 - Water.
PAPER GIRLS #29 - April showers.
SQUIRREL AND FOX #41 - Inspired by song/movie (Raindrops keep falling on my head).
OPUS GLUEI #154 - Colour challenge (all bright or all pastel).
CATCH THE BUG April - Anything goes.
OSAAT #158 - Anything goes.
WAGS N WHISKERS #101 - April showers.
DRUNKEN STAMPERS #122 - Singing in the rain.

Entering Angelica into:
OPUS GLUEI #154 - Colour challenge (all bright or all pastel).
CATCH THE BUG April - Anything goes.
OSAAT #158 - Anything goes.
MY GRAFICO #148 - Anything goes.
MAKE IT MONDAY #135 - Anything goes.
BEARLY MINE #81 - Anything goes.

Hi Lorraine
I am glad I've just finished eating before I read your post or am I (LOL)? I hope your dog feels better soon.
The cards you made are super gorgeous. Love the colour palettes and images on both and also the embossing too.
Craft retreat sounds so exciting and full of fun! Have a lovely time, can't wait to see what you come back with.

OH my, the day had to improve after that lovely wake up find. You poor dear, you channeled your frustration into two lovely cards. I really enjoy them both - their vibrant and yet gentle with their images and work wonderfully for our challenge. It looks like they were fun to make and color. I need more practice with my coloring. Yours looks grand.

Thanks again for sharing your cards with us at Opus Gluei! Hope the pup is feeling all better now or is at least waiting until outside!
