Challenge 6 - Heating Things Up!

We are already half-way to A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA!  Sooo, it's time to heat things up!  Dust off your heat tool, this week your challenge is to use heat embossing on your design!  You may use your choice of ink, papers, colors, stamps (please use at least one A Muse stamp if possible), embellishments, etc.  If you do not have a heat embossing tool, you may use glaze pens or glaze glue (for a faux embossed look) or dry embossing instead. 

Leave a comment on this post (one comment per card) and include a blog or gallery page link to a photo of your new original creation by midnight Pacific time Sunday, June 10th.  (Cards must be new creations not previously posted or submitted to any A Muse contest.)  Then we'll draw a random winner on Monday!

This week, the winner will receive:
·  Purrr-fect clear stamp set
·  Marvy Super 2” circle punch (button-style)

You may submit more than one entry for this challenge - the more you create, the more chances you have to win!

Click here to see a sample by designer Becky Rusher to get you thinking!

Don't have a blog or online gallery?  Leave a link to your card photo from your online photo album (such as Kodak EasyShare, Snapfish, Flickr, etc).  Or see our links at the end of challenge 1 to setup a Splitcoaststampers gallery.

Stay tuned, we have more to share this week including another SNEAK PEEK!!!

Here's my first one. I can't find my heat tool, yet, so I used a glaze pen on the guitar.

Here is mine. http://itsallaboutthejourney.typepad.com/its_all_about_the_journey/2007/06/whats_brewing_e.html

I'm not sure that you will be able to see the embossing that I did very well. I used Chocolate Chip ink and then put clear EP over it, used my heat tool and fini! The card looks much better in person. :)
