It's June that means I'm a year older, the weather is warming up! and it's blog
hop time.  This month my theme is heat embossing, using vellum and Perfect Pearls.
To start out today we are gearing up for fun!  so many gears and sayings, too.  my first card is embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder (it's like a creamy silvery/gold) on vellum.  card #2 is stamped with VersaMark ink and dusted with Perfect Pearls on brown cardstock for the front of the card.  The inside is also dusted with Perfect Pearls on white cardstock.  You have to love Perfect Pearls .... why ..... because they give a beautiful shine.  There's more to see so continue with our hop.

Here's the Design Team:

Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

I think we all get caught up with the new things or techniques and every so often someone prompts us about an older product - thank you I will be taking my PP's out to use soon! Thank you for the blog hop too Karen P x
