Here's card #2 from Monday's battle with my mojo! I decided to play along with the Play Date Cafe's colour splash challenge. This is quite an old Unity stamp (from 2009!) that has never seen any ink. I thought of it immediately when I came to this challenge and was glad to give it a chance to see the light. I used some Liquid Pearls in the centres of the flowers - so excited to finally have some of that stuff. I embossed the tree and the sentiment and didn't spill a drop of embossing powder at all during the making of this card! Whoop whoop! :)I also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for their sweet messages on yesterdays post. You all sure know how to make a girl feel better. :)

Jen, this is fabulous! I love the tree image! And...the thank you is one of my favorites from PTI!
I don't know how you achieved such clean embossing, but it looks amazing and sure packs a punch!
oooo I've just bought this set from Amy Tsurata and it's fabulous! Love how you're tree is growing and blooming through the aperture, a really pretty splash of pink :0)
I've got an idea for this challenge...need to get it made later!!!

So, I am also usually with embossing powder covering my entire workspace! This is so graphic and striking against the black. The tree stamp is so nicely done. Beautiful!
Total success!!! Love the bold white and pink against the black cardstock. Fabulous.
This is a fantastic color splash card! Just the right about of splash of pink with those flowers!
Very pretty! Love the BIG sentiment. (Totally meant to play in this week's PDC... oh well. :P)
Gorgeous card! Love the tree and the pink flowers are perfect!
Have a blessed day!

You're rocking that bursting out of a frame thing again Jen! It's a great tree image and the flowers look fab in the splash of pink! Vicky x
This is so striking, Jen - very graphic; it really pops! That touch of color is perfect! Glad your fingers are getting more nimble with the powder - ha! Thanks for sharing.
ooooohhhh....ahhhhhhh...this is pretty FAB...so how do you organize your unity that you remember about them? I have tons that haven't seen any ink...{{sigh}}
oh my gosh that is so pretty, totally reminds me of a cherry blossom in spring .. what's up with not dropping the embossing powder, it's things like that that make us less crafty people feel less pathetic!
