Embellish Color Challenges With Dimension

Hello all! Hope your ready for another Embellish Color Challenge because this weeks challenge colors are a must!Please excuse me for my absence and for only just now posting my challenge card. The last couple days have been very crazy and exhausting. My hubby had to have an emergency appendectomy yesterday, he is now home and he and I are getting the rest we've needed.

Anyways, back to the challenge. To participate use the colors pictured above (aren't those colors gorgeous?!) and add a pop of dimension. This weeks sponsor is the fabulous Renaissance by Design. They have a amazing line of stamps that you really need to check out! Like these gorgeous coffee cups from the Coffee & Tea set...I can hardly believe it but, yes that is pattern paper! I always find pattern paper a little challenging, but I am trying to be much better about using the stuff.
The solid coffee cups were stamped in Aqua Mist, Spring Moss & Terracotta Tile. Over that I embossed the flower pattern in white. A great tip when embossing an image over another stamped image is to make sure the bottom layer is completely dry before sprinkling the embossing powder. That way the embossing powder only sticks to what you want it to. To quicken the drying process of the first layer, I found that hitting it with the heat embossing tool does the trick perfectly.

So, I hope you too will play along with us and create a project for the challenge. Can't wait to see what you come up with! You can check out the Embellish Challenge details and prize package here.

Thanks for visiting me today! Hope you all have a great weekend!
