Our team had a great time partnering with Emerald Creek!!!   We have had a month full of projects using Emerald Creek products.  Today I am using the Emerald Creek Holly Stamp  to create a background on plain red cardstock!

It's June Mac here today.  I normally avoid card making as I am not a great card maker, but I did have a couple of nice card backs in my stash and I do love the combination of red and gold, so a card began to come alive with a little help from Emerald Creek embossing powders.   I just love my design team role in Altered Pages as they have lots of inspiring products and fellow team members. This month I was trying out the gorgeous Allure embossing powders by Emerald Creek . I used Emerald Creek Charred Gold which is totally different from any other embossing powder I have used and it's  luscious. (see close up further down) I began by choosing a ready-made card back from my stash and a gold mirri card. I used Versamark clear and an old text stamp and stamped over the mirri card. Then added the gorgeous Emerald Creek Charred Gold and heat set with my heat gun. Next I fussy cut some Christmas Poinsettia flowers from a printed page and I layered them up w...
