Blog Hop - Spotlighting

Hi all!

The Angel Company is having another great blog hop over on Savvy Projects! I am so glad they announced it ahead of time since we'll be flying back home from vacation today BUT, I whipped out this card instead of cleaning bathrooms and packing. Don't you think I made the right choice? tee hee...

Sometimes Less is More but in this case, my "less" card just looked really blah. So I searched around in my things and decided to emboss my cardstock. That blue panel uses a Tim Holtz (did you know we are carrying Tim Holtz products now?!?) Halloween embossing folder and I just made sure the skull and poison part didn't show up - I really love the end results. And, who can resist some tan cording with such an outdoorsy looking card...

The thing about spotlighting is it really allows you to make a neat looking card in just a fraction of the time. I think I'll be doing this more often and all of these great collage type stamps in the new catalog are perfect for that...

I hope you'll have the chance to play along! Have a great weekend...

Relax...and Fish

Happy Fourth of July!!

I hope you are relaxing today here in the good, ol' USA...I should have a patriotic card but instead I'm just thinking, vacation!

I embossed some watercolor paper with my Transcendence Powder (that powder will let you emboss with dye inks - incredible!) and then went to work with an aquabrush and Tombow markers. The dangerous part was that I just picked out colors I liked ... then I had to find a paper to match! Luckily, this Winchester designer paper and cardstock from The Angel Company went perfectly with it.

I hope you have a wonderful week! I think I'm going to play some more with this stamp set - I've got some ideas swirling around in my head...
