Stampendous February Texture Challenge

The first Saturday in February means it is time for a brand new challenge with Stampendous!  This month we are challenging you (and ourselves) to add a little texture to your projects.  Need a few ideas?  You can emboss using enamels or powders, use fun flock, glass glitter, mica fragments, color fragments, or use some embossing folders.  The possibilities are endless!

Here's the card that I created for today...

recipe: Stampendous Deco Lady, Taupe Color Fragments, Detail Copper EP, Detail Gold EP, Pirate Gold EP, Carnellian PEARLustre EP, Champagne PEARLustre EP; VersaMark ink pad; ivory ribbon; Tea Dye and Antique Linen Distress Inks; Recollections Spice Market Card Stock pack; Bazzill Brown Card Stock

I have to admit that when I first got this Deco Lady stamp, I wasn't so sure that I would get it inky often.  Boy, was I wrong!  She's so much fun to work with!  I really love to emboss this image with a variety of embossing powders.  I used 5 different colors on this one.  This was the first time I worked with the new Stampendous Color Fragments.  This time I used Taupe.  It was a lot of fun to combine the Color Fragments with Champagne PEARLustre Embossing Powder.  Here's a close-up of the Color Fragments

Sorry my pictures aren't the best today.  Unfortunately, I've been under the weather the past few days and didn't get to my craft table until late this afternoon.  By the time I had my card done, it was already getting dark, so all this sparkle was hard to photograph.  *sigh*

Ok friends, it's time for you to check out my fellow team-members' blogs and see what they've created for you.  I'm sure you're in for a real treat.
