You all seemed to enjoy the Christmas in July Challenge, 

so let's see if this one tickles your fancy too!

Challenge #131 is Embossing!

Let's see embossing on your project, be it heat or dry, we don't mind, 

as little or as much as you choose as long as we can see some embossing there!

Here's my take on it!

I used a red square card blank for the base card.

 The image is The Beach Hut  from Debbie's fabulous shop 

The Crafty Pad Designs

I coloured it up with promarkers & chalked in the sky. 

Next I added some faux stitching around the outside 

using a letraset fine liner pen.

I then did some heat embossing

I stamped my sentiment with Versamark black ink, then embossed with a 

sparkly black embossing powder. 

It looks a bit odd in the pic as it has glitter through it. 

I then matted it onto some aqua card.

Next I did some dry embossing

I used my Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder, 

which I inked over with distress ink. 

Sorry, I can't remember which colour I used but I do remember

 thinking at the time, it was kind of sea like! lol

I matted that onto the aqua card & tied a ribbon around it.

Next I added some flowers with brad centres!

I was going to change the colour of some brads with embossing powder as 

Leesa showed us in her fab tutorial here

 but as I had just the colours I wanted, I had no need to!

To finish my card,I added a couple of photo corners & used a white gel pen to 

highlight the life raft & the beach ball.

I also decorated the inside of the card but I forgot to take a photo, 

I do apologise for that!

I hope you like what you see!

Thank you for stopping by on this sunny Sunday afternoon! 

I'm off to like up to the following challenges then it's a lovely birthday lunch 

with my MIL & the rest of Hubby's family!

Enjoy your day & I hope to see you at
