Good morning and good weekend!
As these lines are being posted, a fantabulous days will be starting... The first Scrapbookers in Greece will have started in Athens!!!! Woohoo!!! I'll tell you everything about that in another post, after they day has finished :o)
So, back to the main reason of this post... Today is the day for the first ATCAS challenge for 2013!
The card I made for this challenge:
Based on the code word: embossing:
For this card, I did two different embossing techniques. The first one is the sentiment - a simple heat embossing with black ink and clear embossing powder to make it pop out a bit.
The second one is the white flowers with the green background - dry embossing for the faux letterpress technique.
The heart is wood veneer which I painted red with Promarkers and the used Glossy Accent. I actually added it after I had finished the card, because the card seemed too plain and needed something more. I think the heart does the trick, would you agree?
I hope you like it!
So why don't you come over at Addicted to CAS to get inspiration by the design team and play along with us?
