TLC489 ~ Color the Texture ~ (7/7/14)

[joan ervin]

Hello everyone!!! I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend!! Since the BBQ is all gone and the firecrackers are all spent it's now time to get down and inky!!! How about a fun and easy challenge using some of those embossing folders you have that are collecting dust.....we are going to *color the texture*!! Here are the deets:

1. Dry emboss a piece of light colored cardstock with an embossing folder.
2. Color the textured embossed area with markers, Copics, watercolors, Gelatos, pencils, or any other medium you choose.
3. Do not put your color on the folder and then emboss....that is a different technique altogether.


I have a special guest today who's beautiful card was the inspiration for my challenge... drum roll please!!!! Kittie Caracciolo!!!!

Wishing You a Speedy Recovery

Have fun with your grands, Claudia...we will have one or two again this week, too!!!

[smadson]

Joan, your card is amazing! I will give it a try, but know mine won't look that good!
tomorrow.., I am heading to bed and just checked on the challenge.

[kaylink]

love the idea just wish I had more interesting embossing folders to try it out on.

[NaomiW]

This is a fun technique to do, and I haven't done it in a little while. Thanks for the inspiration to pull out some of my embossing folders! Can't wait to play!

Here's my card: TLC489 - Birthday wishes from the butterflies! by Breila_Cards - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I used a ready embossed card, I don't have a embossing machine sadly.

Here's my attempt at this technique - Keep Going, Keep Growing.

Joan- awesome challenge! I often forget the simplest tools can have the most impact! I used a sweet tulip/watering can stamped image from a stamping buddy, outlined in pink and green marker and lightly colored- then rubbed light green ink on my embossed tulip frame. Did a handwritten sentiment. Done! Here's Pretty Tulips

[wendy2512]

Great idea Joan TY...here....is my Purple Power

[Zbear1]

Very cool technique -- hope to try it today -- maybe. I love your samples !!

[berlycece]

I made this quick card for a blog challenge, but it fits here too

I used sponge daubers to add color, highlighting the debossed texture

Thanks for the fun challenge, Joan! It's been a while since I've done this technique and I just love it. Here's my Holiday Season. Thanks so much for looking!

[robsiew]

My first upload and challenge! Had fun with a "new to me" technique. Here's my attempt:

Here is my Painted Daisies card.

[Crafty Julia]

I had fun doing a rose card- with two different embossed panels- rubbed with ink. Found this old fashioned bunny and goose stamp in my shopping trips- thought it went well with these embossed roses. Added a ribbon border and tied bow. Here's Lovely Roses

Well, I finally had time to try this, that's about all I can say! The gallery is certainly beautiful today with cards by those who can do this technique well!

Ever since I saw Kittie's card last week, I've been itching to give this technique a try. Thanks, Joan, for giving me the little push I needed to get it done. It wasn't as easy as I though it was going to be, but I'm fairly pleased with the results.

Here's my Textured Birds and Blooms

TLC489 Pink Poppies
Possibly not the most suitable folder to use, but I enjoyed this and will certainly try it again.
Thanks, Joan!

Joan, here is mine, a little late. I had done it on Monday, but just left it on my desk not knowing how to finish it up. Here is God's Colors.
Thank you!

[YorkieMoma]

WOW, this is really stepping out of the norm for me, but I have to say that it was a lot of fun!

SENDING HAPPY THOUGHTS

This technique was a challenge, and here is my card.

[jillastamps]

Here is my Big News Awesomeness Card.

[pvilbaum]

I made 4 cards for this challenge and then when I went back to post them saw that I had not read the instructions very well. I missed #3 altogether so I had done the other technique. So I might get a card done this week in the right technique.

[ohmypaper!]

I had so much fun seeing lovely cards from this challenge in the FAVORITES thread that I had to play along too!
