Something else I've been eyeing up for a long time was the embossing paste!! Super excited about that. This was the first time playing with it, I used the white, and OMG, so much you can do with this stuff. I've been seeing it everywhere in blogland. I picked up some clear too, I want to use it on every card :) I added some Martha Stewart glitter while it was still wet and it clings great!! This was my first time colouring black hair too, and I must say the copics were very forgiving, I went over it a few times and finally settled on the way it is, I'm satisfied.
The challenge at Simon's Monday Challenge Blog is 'The Artsy Stamp'. I think this is soooo 'Artsy'! I wanted to keep the card simple and clean so that the image stayed the focus of the card. For the inside though, I added a bit of We R Memory Keepers Chalkboard paper to match the envelope I made, just so it all ties in together. Some more encouraging words inside from Stampin Up's Feel Goods stamp set.

So cute and artsy!
Beautiful card Caroline! I recently ordered from Unity and can't wait to play with my new stamps! The embossed background is so fun! I don't know if I am brave enough to try that technique, lol! Can't wait to see what else you do with it.
So pretty...and I see you used the embossing paste...I love to enable other crafty girls!!! Lee-Ann :)
Fabulous card! Love the embossing paste with the glitter.
Wow! I can certainly see why you fell in love with this stamp! It is a striking image and I love the sentiment and confidence it conveys. You used it so beautifully, too! The colors are so energetic and she seems so full of life. I really like how you paired her with a more subtle, yet still gorgeous, background. Really lovely piece and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
