Hi Friend!

     Have you ever finished up a project, sat back, and said, "I should have stopped an hour ago."  LOL  I'm not sure I like everything I've done on this card  It feels a bit OVER-done, but it is what it is.
   Our new challenge over at the Catered Crop is embossing.  Linda has a ton of great inspiration pieces posted for you to peruse.  You'll see that the embossing she is referring to is dry embossing, but I couldn't help but add a bit of wet style too.  Most of my dry embossing got covered up, but it's there, I promise.  The main mat and the yellow piece at the bottom were both run through my Cuttlebug in embossing folders and the Spellbinders die cut I cut in half to frame the image and the image itself were embossed around the edges.  I added a bit of Frayed Burlap Distress ink to try to make the raised areas show up a little better.
     Been a while since you've seen me color up a Saturated Canary image huh.  LOL  I have a LOT of them, but to be honest, they intimidate me a bit.  The hair coloring always has me shaking in my shoes.  This one is called "Thank You" and I think she's just adorable.  I'm happy enough with the hair and the rest of her was  pretty easy to color.  Not so sure about the Liquid Pearl dots (that's one of those add-ons in the questionable last hour).
     I added some rolled flowers glittered up with Stickles, lots of leaf punches, and broke out my still unopened jar of white embossing enamel for a little zing to the tag and yellow embossed panel.
     I'm sure you all have an embossing folder or two in your stash so whip something up and hop on over to the Catered Crop to link up.
