DRY EMBOSSING

      I choose to use the image "Tayla and Owen Independence Day". I just think this image is so cute and can be used several ways. I choose to make a birthday card out of it for my nephew who turns 18 on the fourth of July. I used a star embossing card on the background and the words. I also printed out the image twice. I popped up Owens head his shirt and hat. I used copics on the image. I used stickles on the stars and streamers coming from the star in the sky. Be sure and go by to join in on this challenge to have a chance to win some great stuff.

The images this month are all about fathers and the fourth of July. My image is of "Eris Fishing" Isn't he cute. I printed him out three times. I colored him with copics. I popped up his head, his ear, his fishing basket and the fish. I used a piece of bamboo and sliver cording for his fishing pole. The fish bones are from a piece of background paper I had on hand. {Would you believe the blue backgound is from the box of a frozen steamable meal. I saw it when I went to have it at lunch one day and thought it would be great on a card.} The punch I used is from Martha Stewart.
