Thinking of you copper embossed leaves

Using a clear block I rubbed 3 different colors of SU ink and spritz it with water.
Pressed the ink block on watercolor 140 lb cold press paper.

Took copper embossing powder and sprinkled it on these leaves and heat embossed.

Glued the image to recycle calendar pages as I like the bright red and brown colors.

Sentiment and punches also from SU!
Made 3, mailed 2 to Kelsie as I didn't get to visit this week and the other to her parents.

Happy 21st Birthday card

I made this for my daughter who turns 21 today!

Border punch from Martha Stewart, Stamped doily image from Stampin' Up in which I embossed on black cardstock.
Embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment as well, raised the spellbinders label die on foam.

Entering this at Decorate to Celebrate!

Congratulations

I spoke to my daughter last night and she had some great news!
She and her friend ran for their chapter and got it.
This card is for her friend who will be the President in the fall. (I'm working on my daughter's card next)

Embossed the deep purple cs with Versamark and black embossing power. Wrapped it with gold cording. (Their colors are purple and gold).
Added a Spellbinders medallion (I was looking for gold pearls but gosh darn - I don't think I have any. I may try coloring white ones with my sharpie and repost)
Embossed in gold powder on the sentiment.

Entering this in a couple challenged

Peace on Earth

I received this lovely stamp set from my Stampin' Up friend/demonstrator on Saturday as a thank you for having a workshop.
I couldn't wait to use it - so when I saw the sketch at "priscillas style" I went to work.

My sister gave me a stack of card stock that has a glossy sheen to it. I stamped the dove and sentiment strategically on it with the Versamark ink. Using Stampendous Sterling Silver embossing power create this simple but elegant card.
The ovals were cut with my Coluzzle. Hard to tell but I raised both ovals on foam squared for double the height.
