I decided to try the Mixed Media challenge this week -- heat embossing and a choice of medium for the background. After embossing the image with white detail embossing powder, I sponged distress inks over the entire image. This week's Queen for the Day is Susan (susanbri), so I CASEd this card from her gallery using the color combo of brown and blue for the Free4All challenge. My card looks very much like Susan's except for these changes:
* I embossed the background with the Clockworks embossing folder.
* Image is in white rather than black.
* Sentiment is stamped directly to the background piece rather than a separate piece.

This card is a beauty Lois! I love the collage stamp and the emboss resist technique. I love the blue and brown colour combo and the embossing of the background paper.
