Today is challenge day on the High Hopes blog, and you're invited to play along! This week, we're heat embossing! I decided to use this sweet little dragon image from High Hopes stamps. The image is water colored, and the spots on the dragon are embossed with clear embossing powder to make them shiny. I added lots of crazy sewing just for fun! *grin*
Too darn cute~~~~~~~

I'm glad to see your artistic ~Mojo~ is back in full-swing :)
This card using High Hopes' dino image is pretty amazing ... your embossing, colouring and shading is what makes you the wonderful artist that you are.
...... even if you didn't pick my suggestion as the new name for Little Miss Pullet Tipsy :)~~~~
