A Few of My Favorite Tools

The newest challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog is to use your favorite tool.  Since I LOVE to emboss my heat tool is a constant on my work table.  And I couldn't live without my Cuttlebug :)


On a piece of white cs I stamped this cool Abstract Orchard from Magenta in black and then clear embossed.  Using the negative spaces from some die cut circles as masks I rolled ink from a Tsukineko Blue Breeze Kaleidacolor rainbow ink pad with a brayer.  After mounting with a piece of black cardstock and adhering Hero Arts sea dots it was attached to the card front with foam tape.  Sentiment is from Hero Arts CL544 Big Ticket.  Baker's twine is from Doodlebug Designs.
Other Materials Used:  Nesties, Hero Arts snow layering paper, Michael's black cs, We R Memory Keepers corner rounder

I really like how this turned out and want to try this same technique with another Kaleidacolor rainbow ink pad I have called Pumpkin Patch - I think it will make a really pretty Fall card :)
