Anyway - back to coffee pot - here are todays makes which focused on embossing powder. Thanks to Diana ... she got the ideas from a magazine - the main stamp came from craft stamper magazine.
I stamped on watercolour card using versa mark and then added white embossing powder then heat set. I also drew in the stalks with a versa pen and heat set white powder.
I used distress inks mustard seed, ripe persimmon and dusty concorde to paint the colours.
This stamp is a card-io one and was treated exactly the same.
The second card we did involved clarity glossy card and black embossing powder.
The stamps were indigo blu from a set that came free with a magazine once - and the card -io sentiment again. I used mustard seed and ripe persimmon distress inks.
I think both cards are a great combination of distress inks and embossing powders.
Hope you have a great day!
Big hugs
Rachel xx
These are both gorgeous and glad to hear you and the girls have had a good day too.

Two beauties Rachel, great colours and flutterbys on the second but it's the first that really draws me, the abstract look is something I have a desperate need to try out.
