For this first card, I white embossed the image on a dotted green designer paper, then sponged a little extra green ink around the white embossing to make it stand out a bit more. The sentiment was also white embossed and sponged w/ the die still in place. It’s attached to a layer I first die cut w/ a Spellbinders labels 1, then I die cut it w/ a smaller decorative labels 1 and put it back in the labels 1 frame. I added an embossed white strip and a strip of a coordinating dp on top and bottom. This came about because I accidentally cut the the dotted green dp a little too short so I had to lengthen the panel in order for it to look balanced. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

| Ink:Â Colorbox frost white pigment, Kaliedacolor Caribbean sea |

On my second card, I stamped the silhouette image using an orange to red rainbow pad. On the left side of the panel I embossed it w/ a honeycomb border folder then attached it to a larger panel I had stamped the ODBD honeycomb background using the same rainbow ink. The sentiment was stamped w/ the red chalk ink and die cut using an ODBD Elegant Ovals die. Everything was attached to a 5.50 x 4.25 card and I added a stamped and fussy cut cloud and some crystals on the bottom of the sentiment.

Both cards are gorgeous, Julie! Love the white embossing on the first one. Your miscalculation on the cutting ended up with a beautiful design. Love the vivid colors on the second card along with the honeycomb pattern and texture! Fabulous samples! Hugs!
Julie~ Beautiful! Love the white embossing. I haven’t heat embossed in years. The white on green is so pretty. Love how you fixed your boo boo. The fading colors on your 2nd card is such a great idea with these silhouette stamps. TFS.

Lovely cards, beautiful embossing, giving your card texture.
Two completely different, but gorgeous creations! The white embossing is so elegant with the dies.
white embossing is so striking as is the grdient coloring of the second
Love both of your card!! The first card is very elegant!! The white embossing definitely gives character to this masterpiece. You have done a great job with incorporating a dimensional look on both of your cards. Great choice in colors on both cards. Thanks for sharing with us.
Especially love the white on blue. And the message put on the die cut.
Pretty cards Julie! Love the colors, embossing and layering on the top card and the colorful silhouettes on the 2nd one!
As always, I love your cards. Such bright bold colours, and fabulous designs. Way to go girl!

Really lovely. The white embossing powder really sets off the silhouette stamps.
I have never tried white embossed silhouette, but it works well.
I love the ‘ombre color’ effect though maybe, not intentional, it looks like it goes from orange to really deep orange on the card, love these colors combined together,
Beautiful cards.
Julie, you are the Queen of color! I am always nervous using such bold colors but you always pull it off beautifully! Love them both but I am partial to the green one!!!
I love your cards – vibrant colors that accentuate the silhouettes perfectly. TFS
Beautiful. Love the white embossing on the dotted paper. Great colors on your 2nd card. Thanks for sharing.
I love the fresh look of the first card and the depth and texture you created with embossing and dies. Thanks for the tip….I miscalculate frequently. :). Love the rainbow look, too.
