DD7ABC22E: The alphabet challenge is on the letter E. The double challenge was to use embossing. I have both dry and heat embossing on this card. For E's I have Elegant Eggplant, Emerald Envy (ink), Echoes of Kindness stamp set, Elegant Bouquet embossing folder, Enjoy as my sentiment.
I used this week's wonderful - many layered - sketch for my card.
I inked the Irresistably Yours dsp with Emerald Envy ink - I think the Glorious Green CS goes quite well too. I embossed the eggplant panel with a favorite ef of mine. I think this may be the first time I have used this Echoes of Kindness stamp set - shame on me! I colored the flower with elegant eggplant but the only thing I have in Emerald Envy is the ink pad so I used an aqua painter to color the leaves with Emerald Envy. Then I used the aqua painter to loosely color in the flowers and leaves. I hand wrote the sentiment with a Versamark marker and think I need to touch it up a bit with a white gel pen. I added pearls here and there. This card has my favorite color - green - and my DH's favorite color - purple - it makes a good combination, don't you think?
Thanks for looking.

The way you have used these colors is very striking! Beautiful ef....love the added pearls to the flowers! You did a Fantastic job with loosely coloring in the flowers...I thought it was a 2-step stamp before reading~

Excellent! Nicely done with the sketch. Love all the elements. The green and purple look terrific together. Even though only one thing is needed for the letter, You did a great job combining lots of "E" things. Proud of you! Faboulous card. TFS
