Featured Stamper Challenge #159

I hope you are enjoying your weekend. And finding time to relax. I got to play in today's

Featured Stamper Challenge #159 I love this opportunity to enjoy a fellow stamper's gallery and learn from them.

I just love Judi's cards (jovialjudi). I chose this bold and beautiful card to case

Changes I made:
Used different ink pads but similar colors
Made smaller panel instead of OLC
Added black mat
Embossed images

I used this beautiful silhouette new release BITTY BOTANICALS from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS

First I embossed my images. Second I sponged my colors from lightest to darkest then went over with Crushed Curry again dabbing not rubbing ( I dabbed with all the colors). When I went over with the Crushed Curry it just blended it all together nicely. Then I dabbed off the extra ink from the embossed images with a tissue.
