WT525 - This week we will be showing in our cards the elements. I had some really wonderful ideas and alas ran out of time to make another but I am sure you will have many fun cards to keep me smiling at your wonderful creativity. So grab your supplies and show us your cards using one (or more than one if you wish) of the elements of Earth, Wind, Fire or Water.
This was such a fun card to create. I love motorcycles and have so many wonderful friends that have them and really wanted to do a motorcycle card. So I grabbed my fire EF and embossed on white card stock then grabbed the red, orange and yellow distress inks and rubbed over the flames. Then I added stickles around the flames. Finally I mounted my fire on a black card stock to really get the flames to stand out. Oh I love this card.
Thanks for looking!

This card is soooooooo awesome. First love how you did the bg with the embossing folder, and sponging to represent fire. The stamped image is perfect for this card. Fav'd tfs

Oh, Lisa, this is WAY too cool! Perfect use of the embossing folder to underscore that image!

Wow, you hit this challenge spot on! Your sponging of flame colors on the embossed flame panel is the perfect foil for the images. I admire that you kept the stamping CAS, and that you integrated it into the embossed pattern by choosing to do the stamping first and then the embossing. Very "cool" flame card!
