Here are 2 cards created for todays SCS color challenge - Always Artichoke and Groovy Guava. I included heat embossing on both of these cards as well.
-
First card was done with colored pigment inks from Colorbox and Ranger Ancient Gold embossing powder in "Enchanted Gold" - it is gold with irridescent glitter mixed in - really cool stuff! I embossed the flowers, the green flourish/stem and the frame. I attached the sentiment with a couple pieces of hodgepodge hardware.
-
**** on a side note..... my brand new tin of hodgepodge hardware took a header off the table and all over the floor.... now I have a HUGE mess to clean up!***
-
The second card was made with the Country Blessings stamp set that was featured in Country Living last year. I embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder (I used chocolate chip craft ink to stamp the image). The leaves and acorns were done with Prisma Pencils.

Challenge will end next Tuesday (September 11). I hope to put the cards into a gallery for everyone to view - just to keep in mind when entering this challenge.

These cards are beautiful, love the embossed flowers on your first card.
Your card is gorgeous!! I used heat embossing on my color challenge card, too -- here it is: http://flowersandink.blogspot.com/2007/09/color-challenge-groovy-artichokes.html. Thanks for the embossing challenge! :)
I love your cards! Will have to pull the embossing stuff out, it's been packed away for a while and I tend to think of another option because it's such a hassle to get it unpacked and set up!
Mine is at SCS in my 'adisneyfreak' www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=660909&cat=500&ppuser=118582 Thanks for the challenge!!

As for your challenge, here is a link to a Xmas project where I have embossed on paper and on chipboard. The English version is after the French.

Beautiful cards!
Your blog is great! Thanks for sharing with us. Here's a link to my card I made a couple weeks ago. There's black embossing on the flower and on the swirl accents. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/636975?cat=500&ppuser=68495
Happy Friday!
Can't get enough of your cards. (and I'm obsessed with heat embossing; I actually wore out a heat gun in less than a year. Here's my project that uses lots of embossing.Hope the long link works if not here's my blog (the entry is called Vampire tendencies: gift card totes).
Thanks! Mel
