Embossing?

Happy Saturday!!! Hope you are enjoying the weekend!

Just want to show you a card that I whipped up for a couple challenges.

Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge #81, the theme is to do some heat embossing on your card.

Etsy Inspired challenge #105 , their featured shop this week is Handmade Whimzy's shop, there is a set of two toned pink chrysanthemum hair pins... so so cute! You know that I love flowers and they are pink too... love them!

Oh my, oh my... I haven't use embossing powder foreverrrrr! Then, I put on my thinking cap... the embossing powder will resist any ink and of course, glimmer mist!!!! How about that? An old craft goodness meets my new favorite!

Glimmer mist it's! I first misted the watercolor paper with pink bubblegum, then use clear embossing powder and embossed this pretty flower from Amuse called open zinnia, then misted again with the beautiful black cherry "mist"fits (dude, I love this color... I'll be very sad when gone!).

Fun, fun, FUN! Off I go... got to glimmer mist some more... later!

CCM sketch challenge!

Good day, good day!!! It's Labor Day in the US today, and I'm lucky to have today off, woohoo!!! Hubby and I just chilling at home, I have been sitting at my craft space... doing absolutely nothing, haha! And my mind have been wondering for munchies all day. So, I got some cookies and my favorite kettlecorn. Finally, I got an idea (plus, it will probably make me stop eating a bit, hehe!)... Elizabeth, the owner of Softpencil gave me these super cute Halloween circle cliparts to play with... thankfully, I still have enough to put some yummy cookie and kettlecorn in these bags. Yes... I'm eating the goodies from those bags right now.

A beautiful wedding...

Good day, my friends! Aren't they the sweetest couple? One of my good friends got married yesterday... Congrats Grace and Nate!!! It was a beautiful beautiful wedding!
