It's Time for Lauren's technique

Good evening my legion of fans. I am suppossed to be in bed...I promised myself, but my mojo started workin' out of nowhere and I was able to come up with this card for Lauren's Saturday technique. I totally cheated, in that I didn't use the stylus and color. Perhaps tomorrow, I'll give the true technique a whirl. Deets on that can be found at her site which is on my sidebar. I'm trying to be fast here, so I'm not linking. Forgive me. . So we were to dry emboss. I pulled my much beloved Cuttlebug out (actually, it's always within reach) and a folder, and dry embossed a piece of gold vellum...luv how shimmery it is. The base is SU's kraft and the mat, SU's black paper. The image is stamped on a shimmery cs from Paper Temptress and I used Nestibilities for the mats. The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo and I absolutely adore it...so versatile. I got embossing happy and embossed it as well with gold powder. The punch is from EK Success. There new line of punches ROCK! Strong, easily stored....I want them all. I put a tiny gem in place for the eye, not something I would ordinarily do, but what the heck...a little more glam can't hurt. The shimmer was so intense, that the card didn't actuallyphotograph well. Or could it be that I don't know how to "fix it" with my in my photo progam? That's the problem with my blog, I can never do justice to my work because I don't have time to fix, and organize photos, and blog! URGHH! Some day.....

So, enjoy the rest of the weekend and no matter what, get some stampin' in, ya' hear?!!
