I was able to partecipate on my first ATC on Eileen (Leenk) HM swap thanks to her (and JoAnne) generosity in sending me several images of the cute critters in exchange of my Bellas and/or PB (from my DD stash!)~~Thank U Ladies!~~
I chose the 'Incognito' HM 'cause it was the only image I had nine of them and I needed to challenge myself on how to put together an image that I wanted to emboss but that it also was already inked.
Luckily for me I found out ,in one of the blogs I visited recently, that an image can be colored w/ watercolors and then immediately use EB over it to emboss. It works!!!!!!!!! Yeahh!
I liked how this turned out...lots of texture between the (roughly) embossed image and the b/g handmade black paper...
Popped up w/ some dimentionals as well as the pumpkin....added some CF to the eye and some stickles to the side pumpink in order to achieve that 'lit' look...
Hope U like it ~~txs for visiting :o)

I love this! So very cute Paola. I've never done an ATC.
I like how you crinkled the paper, so appropriate for this Halloween theme. the embossing around the edges are a great touch.

Oh this is the cutest card I've ever seen - how adorable is he!
I think you did a great job on the HM embossing - it looks just like a real, soft sheet. ANd the lil punkin, too - cute, cute! Into my faves! TFS!
