All the samples are AMAZING! Can't wait to play. Also, I am so glad you are using MR. Linky. "He's" the best. So much easier to view everyone's creations. Thanks for the switch:)

Your DT is amazing! They always have such fabulous work!

Tulpika said...

I've only recently bought my heat gun, so didn't need to dust it off ;) But thank you for the challenge. I've made a funny Valentine card, and the text says: Will YOU be my Valentine?
Kind regards from Slovenia!

I love this technique! I used watercolor instead of sponging--I love how it turned out. Thanks for the fun challenge. Here is my card: http://debhorstcreaterofsendablesentiments.blogspot.com/2009/01/good-evening-to-all-of-friends-in-blog.html

Your blog is one of my favorites. You ladies and your fabulous samples always give me inspiration and ideas. The emboss resist technique worked so well with the card I was trying to make. Thanks for reminding me that oldies are still goodies!

Sandra MacLean said...

I just love this technique! I had made another card just last week with it, and I wasn't too put out by doing another one for this week's challenge! The DT did a terrific job as always!

Another great challenge I had to give it a try. I don´t have transparent embossing powder so gold one had to do.
