Speedy's Challenge #8, Embossing!

Hello, I made this for Speedy's Friends Challenge #8, this weeks challenge is embossing! I also used this weeks SCS colour challenge, CC276 soft, appealing, amethyst.

Olivia and I went to a Scrapbook/stamping sale last Saturday, and I got a couple MS punches for $5.00 including this mouse rat edge punch!

So my card base is almost amethyst, with a layer of soft suede and then a layer of vanilla embossed with a Fiskars Paw print embossing plate. I sponged the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen.

The cat and mouse are both from the "Speedy the Cats Friends" set from Mark's Finest Papers. I used SU ink pads and a pumpkin pie marker to watercolour in the cat & mouse. I tried to make the cat look like an orange tabby, what do you think? I matted this on soft suede, the top is punched with my new MS punch and the bottom edge is an EK zigzag punch.

I didn't have ribbon that matched, so I ran some white taffeta ribbon thru the almost amethyst ink pad. It came out alot darker than the cardstock, oh well!

Reminder: Please come back tomorrow, Thursday June 24, 9 pm est for the Totally Stampalicious New Release and Blog Hop!
