Today I took on to combine a sketch with a color challenge and add some dry embossing and die cutting to the mix. I chose these supplies to begin with - but later changed the bird-on-a-branch die to a doily die.
Here you can see the embossed and partially colored in flowers that have been already die cut out.
I tossed a long time between a white background and a colorful die cut and a dark grey background with a white die cut. The latter won as you see. I added a sentiment and embossed it in white.
Entering this in these challenges that served as my inspiration today:
The Paper Players: #796 Sketch
Color Dare: #714
Just Add Ink: #790 Dies, stencils ...or both - I used dies only
Cut It Up: #361 Emboss it
