Another set of colours to use this week over on the Summer of Colour Challenge. Again I am doing a flap in my DLP.I seem to have adopted an "embossing" theme for the challenge this year. This week I used card in the 2 main colours of Coral and Teal. I embossed this with a plastic stencil in my Cuttlebug but the impression wasn't that great, really ought to have tried again with a different sandwich but didn't wish to spoil my stencil. Could also have made the impression deeper by hand but forgot!
Anyway, I proceeded to cover the card join with a piece of White (the Smudge, Splash, Pop colour) lace and hand painted the raised parts of the pattern also in white. I added a few spots of white glitter to the flowers too.

Your piece makes me think of inside and outside a garden fence. Love how airy it looks.

Lovely artwork, I really like the way you have used the white for the birds and flowers and the white lace adds that something a bit different.
Pretty. That is a cool stencil.
Oh BJ, this is stunning. I really like your "dry" embossing. Yep, you seem to be on an embossing kick. I want to know how you got that white smudged on so perfectly. I would have been all over the place, but yours is incredible. Love it!!
Super piece, love the delicate white birds and flowers.
Sweet and elegant. Very nice!
I love your embossing, it really looks amazing! especially in the colour pop of white :-)
Fabulous piece, love the pop of white and your colours are spot on, a very elegant and exquisite entry :-) xxx

Beautiful piece, love the delicate flowers and birds against the colourful background. My theme this time is faces. Valerie
Very gorgeous BJ. Very clever. Awesome use of a fine brush for the painting bits. I was just thinking, 'I don't have a theme' as others seem to have adopted, either deliberately, or accidentally, and then I reemembered I do. The sea, beach, etc, haha. Maybe I'm trying to forget the unfortunate boat of last time, haha :D
I love the delicate look, very nice!
Very delicate and pretty! Reminds me of a look out a window.
I like your color-blocked take on this week's color combo. And the touch of lace is so pretty!
BJ it looks gorgeous!!
Love the card - added lace brilliant idea.
I love the idea of a DLP! You are doing such an amazing job with yours! I just love how you used this week's SOC colors to page your beautiful work of art!
great use of the colors. I am a member of DLP but haven't done much. I keep saying I am going to do more but something comes along and knocks my out of the game. Vickie
So pretty and delicate - it almost has a kind of Japanese screen quality to it - do you know what I mean? It's lovely.
