NO Father's Day card! embossed tp, of all things . . .


Nope, no Father's Day card, but it IS a card using the embossing
technique described HERE, image from the  Years Ago set by
Blockheads.  (If you don't have this set yet, just trust me on this, you
need it--well,okay, want it!)


Have you joined in the challenge hop yet?  What?  No?  You DO
realize there is $25 worth of Blockheads awesomeness at stake here,

Karen, I spritzed it with "walnut" ink after it was dried--I'd like to try the color-it-while-it's-wet technique, though. You got some amazing results with that!
