Umbrella Man

Morning LIMettes .... Well it's Saturday again and Mandi and Chrissie have another challenge for us this week....  SQUARES - you need to pick one of the squares and stick within it.  Mandi has also let you all know about my Macmillan Appeal so any donations would be very welcome in my
where I first need to make the 100 card in 90 days, but then also sell them.... ALL... Here is my card ( or should I say cards).

The black first card...
And in red....

I really wanted this to be the white on black but the sentiment embossing didn't come out to well so I thought I'd try the black on red.... But I still prefer the Black one.  The stamp is from Stampers Anonymous and is Tim Holtz Purely Random.  I've then used seafoam embossing powder on the black card and black in on the red card.  The sentiment is from the same set.  Hope you like them....

  2. FAB' cards Jen, I agree the writing is clearer on the red. But, they are a bit 'sketchy' those stamps anyway eh!
    Super job!
    Thank you and good luck with your cause

  6. Great cards - I think they look quite "arty"! I think I like the black best too.

    Have your tried an anti-static bag when embossing? It does help.
