Adventure's Out There!

...I just love that Up quote, and it's pretty applicable to today - I turned in my passport and ticket itinerary to the school today, so Austria Fall '14 is definitely happening! I'm so excited!

Anyways, here's a card for this month's CAS-ual Fridays (ovals)....


Although it didn't add any dimension, I heat embossed the silhouette image - this helped the black pop up more on the fabric.
Here's the comparison between heat embossed and simply stamped with black ink...


Mmm, yes, much better, don't you think? Still, I did have issues with the black embossing powder wanting to go everywhere on the fabric it wasn't supposed to go. ;)

Thanks for stopping in today and God bless!
