Today at The Sisterhood of Crafters Terri is our hostess
and she has chosen the theme
"Simply Made"
meaning not a lot of embellishments on or a one layer card so to speak.
Well, I took the theme totally to heart and made a
pretty much CAS card, leaving lots of white space.
I don't know what made me think of these little critter stamps I have had forever,
but for some reason they came right to mind...lol!
I do have to confess though,
simple as this card is I had to stamp it 3 times
before I liked it.
The first two times I stamped with 2 different brands of inks,
I won't mention them as I LOVE both
but they were too 'blah' for these guys.
here is a small sample of what I mean
Then I had a 'light bulb' moment
and decided to use embossing powders!
All the products I used came from Sparkle N Sprinkle.
The little guy on the left I used Coffee EB powder
and the little gal on the right I used Berry Bliss,
isn't that a unique color? Love it!!
I also added some NuvoCrystal Drops Rhubarb Crumble
to the center of her flowers.
The hearts were embossed with Red Apple.
I don't know abut you, but I think EB powder is magic...lol...
it just comes to life once it is heat set!
( Some of the links of the products used are from 2 different Sparkle N Sprinkle 'stores' as we are in the process of swapping over to a new store...and it is wonderful!

The Sisterhood, and the 'sistah's have some great inspiration to get you going!!

They are both adorable but your berry bliss hedgehog takes first prize! Sweet card Diane!
Embossing definitely "umphs" the color, and I do love that pink. Very unusual. Your CAS design rocks! These hedgehogs in love are so cute!
Beautiful little hedgies and card! I never think to use EB powder; thanks for the inspiration!
I too love Berry Bliss EP!! These colors work so well together. Wonderful job, my dear!
