4 challenges inspired today's card...

AAA Cards // #318 ...A clean and simple "follow my lead" challenge!!  For this current challenge we are following Marlies.  I used a new embossing folder from Darice and created an embossed strip instead of a black and white strip.

Alphabet Challenge // 26JUN26 ...An ABC challenge!!  E is for embossing.  I embossed a full folder in white and then cut out three of the images and colored them.  I used the left over bit for my side panel and envelope.

Double D Challenges // 1JULY26 ...A "visual prompt" challenge!!  My inspiration from the visual given...the watermelon slices!!  I know they are candy in the photo but fresh works, doesn't it?!?

Never Before Used // #NBUS88 ...

The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used"...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am using a brand new embossing folder from Darice that I picked up on my trip to VA at the Green Valley Book Fair.
