Yesterday was so much fun - Linda hosted a scramble in the hero Arts flickr group. Its one of my favorite things to do. Last month I messed up and missed it by a day, this time I put it in my calendar.....
The theme was Embossing Technique - either embossing with powder or an embossing folder or other dry embossing. You could even do that faux embossing using die cuts as Shari showed on the HA Blog - see it here - or use a score tool to get an embossed effect. first I had some trouble with that - I tried to guess what we would do thinking Easter is coming and who couldn't use an Easter card.....So it took me a while to come up with something. Being totally stuck on Easter I made an Easter card anyhow.

I used a Sizzix embossing folder, the stamps are Hero Arts from the April set Cl051, little dots of Perfect Pearls and Stickles
Then I went back to the scramble to see what everybody else is doing - and some people already had posted 3 - yes, THREE cards..... So back I went for a quickie card, just coloring the embossing folder with Copics. Its not perfect - normally I would spend just a little more time on it, but I did not have that luxury.....
Materials: Cuttlebug embossing folder - colored with Copics, sentiment Hero Arts - Sending Smiles Messages
And that's how I did it:
I lined up a ruler along the "valleys" of the embossing folder and in (mostly) one stroke went along the ruler with the Copic marker - once I did all those lines I trimmed of the messy edges and mounted it on a white cardstock base.
I linked this card up with the Challenges 4 everybody - Anything goes

Die zweite erinnert mich an einen Lolli, mit diesen vielen bunten Farben. Einfach prächtig!!
Liebe Cornelia, ich habe schon gesehen, dass du so viele wunderbare Sachen gemacht hast aber leider hatte ich in den letzten Tagen nicht sehr viel Zeit zum Bloggen (und kommentieren). :-(
Hast du schon bemerkt, dass es bei mir etwas für dich gibt? Wenn nicht, dann schau mal vorbei!
GLG Rosi
Ich muss mich am Wochenende auch endlich an die Osterkarten machen, sonst wird das nichts mehr.
Liebe Grüße aus Regensburg
