I inked on of my mixed textured embossing folders with various neutral colors of distress oxide inks. for the card background. I stamped this terrific lion stamp from Unity with versafine clair black into onto this marigold paper. The sentiment is a little sentiment strip from Tim Holtz.

Can You Handle the Pressure? challenge - fall colors

It started with inking the indented inside portion of my Darice embossing folder and spritzing with water. Then I ran it through my embossing machine. That put color into the indented leaves. Then I rubbed some darker shades of ink colors over that. To cover the white portions of the background, I  activated some Mica copper powder with water and painted over the white. The I look some colored pencils to add more richness to the colors. I stamped the image with versafine clair black ink and colored it with copic alcohol markers. I used a metallic Sharpie for the buttons and accents in the image. The image is by Unity as is the sentiment. I mounted this on lilac paper. I love the contrast of thee oranges and purples on this.  You can find this challenge here:

Less is More white and cream

This is my card for the Less is More challenge  that is to use cream and white. My cream is not as pale as I would have liked it to be, but since I only used it on the leaves I used it.  I embossed the white card base with an inked Distress Oxide ink pad rubbed over it before I ran it through my machine. I stamped the flower in versafine black, die cut the leaves in ivory (cream) and attached over the embossed background. Here is the link to the Less is More challenge:
