Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This week Darnell's I.D.E.A.S is Embossing.
She's come up with this fun way to start off the week with a starting point
for a card.
I've embossed a piece of Black Mixed Media paper and added a bit of
watercolor with Metallic Watercolor Paint to the raised parts.
I thought it made a very dramatic background and added some die cut leaves
over top. I love how the die embosses the leaves as it cuts.

A stunning card. The white on black background is soft but adds a lot to the card. Those are nice leaf dies.

I love the effect of rubbing the embossed twigs with white ink. They brighten up the background wonderfully for these lovely cut-out twigs.
