Distress Oxides + Glossy Paper - a birthday card

Hello everyone!

I am OBSESSED with Distress Oxides on Glossy Paper.

Every time the result is different and gorgeous. 

The card was created for a special crafty friend's birthday recently and she loved it. I hope you do too.

Be sure to check out the video at the end of the blog to see a full step-by-step tutorial.

When making these backgrounds I like to try some different color combo's with the Distress Oxides.

This one is definitely a fave - Worn Lipstick; Twisted Citron and Walnut Stain.

The layering stencil is from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous - Splash THS080

The Perfect Blend

Ah, the delicious smell of coffee when heating embossing powder. 

Wait. What?

Yes, you heard me right. Kim, the creative genius behind the embossing powders of Emerald Creek Craft Supplies has brought together a perfect blend of gorgeous java colored embossing powder and the yummy scent of fresh brewed coffee. She's has called it Just Java and it's addictive. This embossing powder will be available on January 20th. Ask your local retailer to carry it or order it directly from Emerald Creek.

I recently created a card for a friend who shares my love for a great cup of coffee and I couldn't resist using this Just Java embossing powder.
