CAS-ual Friday and PPA

I had no intention of making cards today as I have been frantically creating all week for a holiday church cardmaking session last night and this afternoon.  But the CAS-ual Friday challenge was embossing - heat or dry - and I LOVE embossing, then when I pulled out a set of four stamps, I realized the Pals Paper Arts sketch was perfect!


This uses one of my all-time favorite embossing powders from a company that is no longer around. :(  But you definitely need to see it IRL - the sparkle is subtle but it reflects every color of the rainbow!

I also colored the brads with that embossing powder by heating up the brad (hold it with a tweezers), dip it into the jar of embossing powder, then reheat.
