HOC Embossing and/or Color Challenge

Happy New Year!
Hope your holidays have been great and you are
looking forward to what's ahead for 2016!
I know I am!

We have a new challenge starting today at

We are asking you to create a project using
Embossing and/or colors from the inspiration photo. 


I decided to do the embossing and even though we're not
asking you to use the photo as inspiration I did so
for my easel card!


The image I used is called "First Class Post" from

I colored with Spectrum Noir markers,
Punched the borders with  Martha Stewart punches
and used an embossing folder from the Paper Studio.
The butterflies were punched with a Fiskars punch.
The sentiment was stamped and die cut with a stamp
and die from Hot Off the Press.

We hope you'll join us at
We'd love to see what you come up with!

I'm linking  up t:
Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes
Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes

Thanks for taking a look!
