This is the first time the embossing resist technique has done what I wanted it to do! This card is for the Colour Challenge which featured Rich Razzleberry, Cucumber Crush, and Tangelo Twist. Nice secondary colours for a fall card! I stamped my leaves with Versamark watermark 'ink' and embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I soaked my water colour paper panel and applied re-inkers with a brush. After it dried I stamped the tree with Archival Jet Black. This card will likely be sent to my niece who now lives in Saskatchewan and misses Ontario's vibrant fall colours.

Oh WOW - this is just incredible. Love the way you have embossed the leaves and then sponged over them. Perfectly finished with those lovely stitched borders - I am going to have to check out that company!!!

Wow did you work wonders with the challenge colors. This is a masterpiece. The lg embossed leaves paired with the smaller tree is such a lovely desing decision. Into my favs.

This is gorgeous!! Your emboss resist was a grand success and I love how you matted it with a thin layer of black - so elegant and it shows off the colors!
