I jumped in on a couple of challenges over on SCS tonight. Yesterday's Technique Lovers Challenge was to dry emboss patterned paper and today's color challenge was to use Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango and Whisper White. The first two bright colors almost scared me away but then I remembered I could tone them down with the white. I resisted the temptation to make another card with Secret Garden so that I could break out another set I haven't tried yet, Oh Hello which I purchased as a bundle with the Oval Framelits, also featured in this card.
I made this and photographed it during the State of the Union speech so it wasn't taken in the best light.
The technique for the dry embossed framelitl is here. Just a hint: if you are using a new framelit for this technique, make sure you remove any extra adhesive from the tape holding the framelits in place. I thought had pressed my post it on to tightly until I realized there was adhesive on my new framelit. When you are using them the normal way this adhesive doesn't make a difference but when you are embossing with them you have the reverse side against your paper.
