I thought I'd show you the card I made last night for the Just Add Ink Challenge #26! This week the challenge was to emboss. Now, apparently you could do heat embossing or dry embossing, but since I really couldn't choose between the two, I encorporated both into my cheery little card!
Here's what I came up with!
The flourish from Baroque Motifs has been heat embossed with clear embossing powder, and the bottom panel, I used the brand spankin' new square lattice embossing folder I had sent over from the states - LOVE IT!
I think the colour scheme of Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss, So Saffron, Pink Pirouette and White go really nicely together - what do you think?
Hope you all enjoy this card, and thanks again to the girls at JAI for another fantastic challenge!
