I had some extra inks (green and blue) left from another project, so I decided to use it on lots of textured papers...now I have a little pile of watercolored papers! =)

Clear embossing powder

And a tip...
This is how you get colorful images on dark paper without having to buy a bunch of colored embossing powders...
I stamped letters on black paper with VersaMark and heat embossed in white. Then, I colored them with alcohol-based ink markers. The brighter the colors, the better!
Of course, you would have to buy a bunch of markers...but I bet you already have them, right? =)

Supplies:
Framework Alphabet (CTMH)
VersaMark
White embossing powder
Brilliance ink pad
Chalkboard stamp set (Recollections)
twine
3-D foam tape
washi tape

Supplies:
What a Hoot (CTMH-retired)
Copic Markers
candy dots (SU!)

Challenges:
1. Freshly Made Sketches #153 - A sketch by Jen B.
2. H2H Challenge: Share your favorite Stamp or Stamp Set (What a Hoot) - this is my 3rd card...can you tell I have many favorite stamp sets? =)

Have a nice weekend!
Lilian

Plus, some CTMH artwork:

Here's a card I made today...
...please, enjoy it for a looooong time...since my 3yo son N somehow got my acrylic block with the scooter stamp while it was drying...and the stamp went PUFF, PUFFT, GONE! Bye-bye! Forever!
I guess that's the bad thing about polymer stamps...they are CLEAR! And HARD to find!!! =)

Supplies (CTMH):

Others:
washi tape
VersaMark ink pad (I stamped the scooter on the turquoise paper)

I went washi tape crazy and used them as my "patterned papers"! I punched a border on the right and added Copic-colored bird and flowers with foam tape.
