I use that gorgeous metal artwork as my inspiration, I knew the second I saw it what I wanted to try creating and I like how it turned out. I think this will hang in my studio for a while. StudioÂ…sounds so cool doesnÂ’t it!
-The negative embossing technique was used for the Cuttlebug squares; you can find the directions in the Technique Lovers Challenge list.
-I used Prismacolor pencils to color the embossed areas.
-CHF Burlap Backgrounder was stamped on the under layer which is tool distressed. I also used it on the punched border and Weave is stamped on the reddish border.
-All the squares were ink distressed on the edges.

Cool card for a cool studio! (I have little squares of embossed cs in similar colors on my work top - you and I were definitely on a similar path but then I got lured away with my petals stamp.) I love the end result here!

Yup, studio is just the perfect word! Your card is a work of art, roxie! I love how wonderfully your technique turned out for the challenge. Wow, it's stunning, to say the least.
