Friends of Speedy TV - Die Cut Challenge

The Friends of Speedy TV challenge at Mark's Finest Papers - A Heinrich Company this week is to use die cuts, join us here for a chance to win a stamp set: http://www.mfpspeedytv.ning.com/. I was inspired by this new 'Three Bugs in a Rug' paper for my colors and heat embossed the magnolia and colored with Stampin Up reinkers. I did a bit of distressing and embossed the papers with embossing folders. For the die cuts, I added three Spellbinder labels and a Cheery Lynn lace border die.

There's a great tutorial at SplitcoastStampers.com under resources, I had to check it out myself, as I'd never tryed this fold for a card.

I did a sloppy job with the heat embossing on these dogwood blossoms, black powder everywhere!! So I colored them with Stampin Up reinkers and water pen and cut them out, voila, all my problems solved! I colored them with a peachy color to go with these Graphic 45 butterflies and used embossing folders on all of the dp.

I heat embossed the image to give it extra shine and I have to say, I'm so thrilled with my new Stampin Up reinkers, I just put a tiny dot of ink on a palette and used a water pen to color this gorgeous tropical scene!! I was so excited with the vibrant color that I brought out all of my favorite images to emboss and color!
