A special friend of mine is celebrating a birthday today, so I thought I would create both a birthday card AND complete the sketch challenge of the week! Look at me multi-tasking! HA! I decided to go crazy with my embossing powders today, using them on the flower, the brad in the flower center and the paranthesis element. I love the richness of the effects a good embossing powder creates!

I used Buttered RUm and Renaissance on this particular project, but you can't go wrong with these powders, I promise! The pic doesn't really show the depth of color in these powders, but should you give them a try, you'll never look back! Both the embossing powders and the Memory Box Studio 6 x 6 paper collection used in this card are now available in the store. The EP's I will be carrying for a while but the papers are in limited quantity only so get em while you can! These are wonderful papers for sure, but I have something new in store come December, so keep your eyes out!
