Embossing Challenge

It was my turn to set the  Spicy Supply Challenge on Gingersnaps on Wednesday and this month we chose embossing powder.  Here's the card I made using a beautiful floral image from Serendipity Stamps. 

[Note: check out Sharon's awesome interview with Serendipity's owner, Mary Lee.]

I embossed the main image with black e/p on watercolor paper and the sentiment on vellum c/stock.  The geraniums were watercolored with reinkers, the panel distressed and sponged around the edge.  And I added some Creamy Caramel speckles on the main panel with a marker and a spritzer tool.

I hope you find time to join in the challenge!

Supplies:

• Stamps: large Geranium & sentiment (Serendipity) 
• Ink: Versfine black, Creamy Caramel marker, Real Red, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss & Old Olive reinkers
• Paper: Riding Hood Red % Chocolate Chip c/stock, vellum c/stock, watercolor paper
• Accessories: Flat black pearls, black embossing powder
• Tools: Aquapainter, Color Spritzer Tool, Heat Tool
