FM192 Enjoy the Journey!

Lisa has a real Friday Mashup challenge for us this week, embossing folder stamping and mix-and-match shapes.

I'm not a big fan of the look of embossing folder stamping, so I really needed to think and play with this one.  I found that using the "negative" side of the embossing folder, plus spritzing, gave a messy but more-defined look than the "positive" side.

After working through my personal issues with the background, CAS(E) this Sketch #100 caught my eye.  I created a large triangle shape for a "mountain".  And don't forget my wheel "circles".  For that matter, the bike frame is made of a couple of triangles as well.  Ha!

This week's Mashup Challenge is:

  • Create a project with a "Embossing Folder Stamping Technique". Link Here
  • Create a project  with "Mix & Matched Shapes". 
  • or Mash it Up! and create a "project using the technique with different shapes".
Stamps: Pedal Praise Paper Pumpkin, Pedaling Past; Paper: Whisper White, Delicate Dots DSP; Ink: Soft Sky, Pool Party, Early Espresso, Early Espresso marker; Accessories: Cloudy Day EF, Stampin' Spritzer, Simon Says Stamp Diagonal Stripe stencil, Embossing paste, Sewing machine, Thread.

You did a great job with the challenge Heidi, you always do! Love your sky and the way you created the mountain.

You were the first person I thought of when I saw this set with the bike :)
