Lets Get Embossy

Hi everyone!!  Yep, it's time for a new challenge at Phindy's Place and this week we challenge you to "Emboss" (heat or dry).  I chose to dry emboss because I just got these new embossing folders by Basic Grey.  Wow, they are really awesome!!  For my card this week I have used this adorable image called "I Glub You"....
 I love this image and its one that can be used for so many different occasions.  It also gave me a chance to practice on one of my favorite techniques....coloring transparent objects.  I just love to add depth and movement to water.  It actually looks better in person than it does in the picture.  Hey, even my hubby was impressed!!!  LOL!  Maybe he was just being nice. :)

Copics Used:
Bowl - R81 and a color I created myself using an R85 refill and my colorless blender.  I wanted a really light pink with a blue undertone instead of yellow.
Water - BG0000, BG000, BG01
Plant - YG63, YG67, G40
Rocks and hearts - R32, R35, R37, R39
Treasure chest - E43, E44, E47 and YR24, Y00, Y11, Y15
Fish - Y32, Y35, Y38

Supplies Used:
DP - Basic Grey Hopscotch Yummy!
Distrezz-it-all
Martha Stewart scoring board (LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Misc buttons and ribbon

Challenges I am entering:
The Pixie Cottage - Buttons
Dutch Dare - Buttons
Simon Says Stamp and Show - Show some love
The Outlawz Copic/Promarker Challenge - Favorite technique

Thank you for stopping by today and hope you will click on over to Phindy's Place and check out the rest of the DT cards. Of course they are all amazing!!  We would love to have you join us this week with your favorite embossing technique!!!  :)

Have a good one!!
