So tonight I made the cutest birthday card.  Embossed happy birthday on the white card.  I used green ink on a sponge to make it stand out.  then I put green crdstock with a die cut "boys rock" in white on it.  Unfortunately, since I was in such a hurry to get to the party, I forgot to take a picture!  Guess that means that I'll have to make another one!

Update- here's some others that I did using the same technique.

First post!!!  Wow, I'm actually doing it.  I'm doing a blog about what I love.  What will I post first?  What can I write about first? 

Yesterday when I got home, I took a picture I had of a day lilly and turned into black and white.  Then I "glowed" the edges in Adobe Photoshop.

Then I put a piece of vellum over it and a piece of silicone (from my embossing machine) under it and used an embossing stylus to trace it. 

I used a needle punch on the holes all the way around and took apart my crafting sandwich.  I trimmed it.  I put it on a piece of green cardstock and punched the side with a fancy punch.  I then added it to a card. 

Craft complete! 

The best part of working on a project is seeing the completed project!  The hardest part is giving it away!!! :)
