Friday is 'getting messy' day ! .........

Morning everyone, thank you for popping in on this gorgeous morning......however, you can definitely feel that Autumn is on it's way, and we haven't even had our holidays yet!

Anyway, I won't waffle on, just want to show a card I've made today, to remember the beautiful roses of Summer. 

I've used the Creative Expressions rose stamps, which I've had in my stash forever, ( they always come out for special occasions ) and I partly decoupaged it this time, just to give a bit of height. 

I swiped the TH tattered rose distress ink over the white card in both directions, then stamped (still with tattered rose) a couple of C.Ex background designs. (one set I heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer in bright gold ) Then I ran it all through an Mbossabilities folder to pick up the Harlequin design of the background stamp. Finished around the edges with the gold and ultra thick bronze em. powders, again from Cosmic Shimmer, and mounted it onto black cardstock.

Hope you like it.

(I have realised that I need to get a new camera, as the actual card has much deeper colours than it looks on this photo ) Mmmmmmm, birthday money??

I love the bronze, Cosmic Shimmer ultra thick embossing powder....it reminds me of volcanic lava

 I did get a bit messy making this card, and I've got embossing powder all over my work-space, but hey,  isn't that what crafting is all about?

Catch you tomorrow, have a good Friday x
