This week Claudine challenged us to do embossing on our card. To be honest, I do not usually have good luck with embossing - I can never get it "clean" enough. I don't have an embossing buddy, but my girlfriend told me a USED dryer sheet does the same thing~~ go figure. [ It does work!] On my card, I used the MFP's soon to be released stamp set [July] "
Southwest Cowboy". I embossed the horses, and than did both sponging and direct to paper technique.
[Direct to Paper is when you take your inkpad and rub the corner directly on to your card stock - I love this technique - the results can be just outstanding!] I used a reverse punch for my sun and last step was stamping the Cowboy.
I hope you come over and play in Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge this week. Remember, for every 40 entries, there is another weekly winner! One Mark's Finest Paper stamp set - FREE! Nothing wrong with free~~
Thanks for stopping by -see you tomorrow..

This card is awesome! You are so good at the direct to paper technique. When I try it, it looks like blobs on ink on the paper. :)
