Embossing Powder (as sand) - Mix'd Media in Honey by Color Box
This is the fabulous prize for the winner!
I used a large Lifestyle Crafts die to make the card base, I hardly ever make non square cards so this was a challenge for me. I added some Honey colored embossing powder to the area around Owens feet to look like sand, but I used glue instead of embossing ink and let it air dry instead of using the heat gun (it would have melted the crystals and that wasn't the look I was looking for) and I think it worked out really well.
I hope you liked this and will give a shaped card a go soon and come back and share at the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge!
