I am no Zindorf

Michelle Zindorf makes her versamark, clear embossing powder, heat gun, brayering technique look so easy in her daily blog tutorials (here)...well...of course I can't pull it off. On Splitcoaststampers the Inspiration Challenge was to get inspired by Acacia..I chose to make a card inpired by the pillow on this bedding. Now I learned that you need to emboss in small areas...not try to do the whole card at one time. Stamps: Best Blossoms ;
Paper: GP white, Real Red, Cool Caribbean;
Ink: tempting turquoise, Rose Red;
Accessories: ric rac, clear embossing powder, brayer, dimensionals, versmark marker
