May 2020 Week 4 Technique and Stash Embossing Challenge for 20th week of 52 CCT blog

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! I'm 18 hours or so late due to a personal health issue but glad it got resolved so I can spend some computer time and get the post made.

This Week 4 challenge became a two-fer for me because unlike a lot of paper-crafters today, I don't have embossing folders or powders. I just haven't had a desire to go with those products or techniques. So I chose to go a different route using a different technique and product from those suggested by my 52 CCT team-mate. I've used embellished letter stickers to make the embossed cardstock with a colored pencil texture rubbing to enhance the details.

Notes on supplies and vendors:
a. the base cards have matching envelopes and were part of a bulk package from Darice
b. the striped washi tapes are Pink Paislee (I think.)
c. the star printed 'coins' are from a Bo Bunny Christmas collection pack of die-cuts
d. the blinged letter stickers are from Art Skills and bought at discount store Dollar General
e. 3 colors of colored pencils were used for the texture embossing: sierra rust, gray, and black
