oh oh oh it's magic - Pattern Play Day 2

Wanna make some magic?  All you need is PP, Distress Inks and embossing powder.  Another Jennifer M. lesson over at Pattern Play.  Take those  problem PPs and make somethin' pretty out of 'em.  Artsy fartsy.



So much going on here, eh?  And yet they're basically one layer cards!  They started out as the left hand side of this:


12x12 sheet of K&Co Que Sera PP.  I love this paper but again, found it difficult to use on cards.  But ink, heat emboss, ink, remove emboss - and you've got gorgeousness.  Add a digi sentiment and be still my heart.  Two anniversary cards for my stash.

Happy weekend.  I'm gonna be celebrating the fact that I'm not 50 yet (OK, it's gettin' pretty darn close).



Supplies:
Paper: cardbase Buttinette, PP K&Co
Stamps: BG Hero Arts, digi sentiment Mama Elephant
Ink : Distress Ink Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmelade
Tools: heat tool, iron
Other:  clear embossing powder, packing paper, bling

I'm usually afraid to use such bold paper, but you've pulled it off beautifully.
