~You Rock and Make It Monday~

I made a card for my nephew.






I used the cool technique Lisa shared on Make It Monday #45,
coloring embossed images with Copics.


I used red on white embossing, and made sure to stay within the white to give it one more border.



gave me the colors to work with. ;)






Take a breath this week and take it one day at a time.  

That's what I'm trying to do!


I have my bag of cards in the car and anytime I have to WAIT...I start addressing cards.  It will get there one day. ;)


Take care now. 


Supplies:


Papertrey Ink Grunge Me, Papertrey Ink In the Meadow die,Creative Memories oval cutter,Versamark ink,Memento ink blue,Inkadinkado light blue,Whispers white embossing powder,Copic red,Piggy Tales DP,American Crafts AC cardstock

Aren't you smart, keeping cards in the car to address when you have a moment! I usually keep a magazine on hand, and it's typically 'Paper Crafts'.

Anyway, back to your card! I like the splashy effect on the tree; it's got such a 'hip' feel to it.

Thanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe, and Happy Holidays!
