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.

- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

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 :-)

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.
