Okay, New Blog Challenges
I’ve been hashing this idea over with my friend, Linda, and we’re both looking for ways to keep updating our blogs and write about things that people want to read. We are both very interested in using the supplies/tools/techniques that we have and finding out how other people use these things. SO….. How about a blog challenge that you answer on your blog! Just post a quick comment here to let people know where your blog is, and we’ll just keep it going from there! I’ll start a new thread over on 2 Peas, and you can leave your comment there with the link to your blog, if you wish – or both.
Also, anyone wishing to have their blog post (or projects/instructions) put up permanently in the archives with the original article – please just email me and I’ll get it uploaded with the permanent links to your blog.
So….. our first one? What’s your favorite use of Wet Embossing? Personally, I use it all of the time. Not only do I love how it looks, but it serves so many purposes.
Here’s the card from the article after it was hand painted and then finished with a brayered layer of multi-color ink.
Now feel free to join in and post on your blog what or how you use embossing, then leave a comment here that you posted something and a link to your blog and/or post to the challenge thread at 2 Peas. Soon we’ll have people “blog hopping” to see what ideas we all have!
The next topic will be “Sewing on Paper” – you can see here how I’m setting it up. I think this will be great, and the point is to share our knowledge and have people come visit us on our blogs, as well as just having some great things to write about! I hope you’ll join in – the more the merrier!
I’ve rearranged the ‘categories’ on the right to fit the post topics. They’re called “labels” if you’re using Blogger.

These challenges sound cool! As I am still learning many basic techniques, I hope to be able to try some of these. At the very least, I can’t wait to see what everyone else does!

Here’s a tip for embossing ink that’s really useful: before using your good scissors to cut into adhesives, swipe the blades well with embossing ink, either from the bottle or on a pad. This works great when cutting into the EZMount Cling sheets…
