Group 2: Add Texture and/or Color Inspiration

Thank you for stopping by House of Cards Challenge Blog today!  
We're going to start you out with a little something to get your creativity flowing.  
Here's Em with some tips for you.

Hi everyone, I'm honored to be representing Design Team Team 2 at House of Cards and bringing you some tips on how to add even more texture with embossing folders than is perhaps at first obvious. I LOVE using them and for both my original card for this month's challenge and the one I'm sharing with you today, I've used the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) from Stampin' Up!

Once embossed, card can be used with either the raised image upward (embossed) or downwards (debossed). I've used both for today's card, cutting the embossed layer with one of the Deco Labels Framelits... 

Here are some beautiful inspirations from our Group 2 Design Team....

October Challenge: Add Texture &/or Color Inspiration

Hi, all!  It's time for another new monthly challenge here at House of Cards!  We loved all the beautiful creations from last month and we cannot wait to see what you do with this month's challenge which is....

To create something with lots of texture
and/or using the color in this inspiration pallette~

We have some FABULOUS inspiration from a Guest Designer this month!

Help me welcome PLISSA ADD!

Please visit her blog to leave her some love!

Here is some inspiration from challenge owner Mynn~

To create a textured background panel like the one Mynn made, follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of glitter paper the size you are wanting to use.

2. Ink the "flat" side of an embossing folder with Versamark ink. 

TIP: The "flat" side is the side with wells for the paper to go when embossed.

3. Dry emboss the glitter paper.

4. Add embossing powder to the glitter paper and emboss. (I used green.)

5. Lightly dab the double embossed paper with white ink.

6. Emboss the white ink with clear embossing powder.

You could easily use other colors of glitter paper, ink, and embossing powder.

The options are endless! :)
