Hi everyone. I am back again with another post because it's Tuesday, and 2 weeks have passed. That means it's time for a new challenge at Try It On Tuesday .
Thank you to everyone who linked up and joined our Inspired by a Song challenge. I always enjoy seeing what songs people pick and if I can guess them from looking at their art. 😊
Our newest challenge for the next 2 weeks is Emboss It-Wet or Dry. I made a journal page with lots of dry embossing on it.
To make this page I started with a sheet of watercolor paper and some orange, green and brown juicy ink pads that I randomly rubbed over my paper. Then I took a sheet of glossy white paper (actually the back of some packaging) and used an older embossing folder (from Spellbinders) to give it some texture. After I embossed the image, I rubbed yellow, gold and some light brown ink lightly over the embossing so that part would have some color.
I die cut the leaves with a Frantic Stamper stitched leaf die. You can see these have some stitched embossing on them. I cut them from this rusty orange paper, and then to add some depth, I lightly rubbed just a bit of brown ink on them. The sparkle leaves are some of those foam leaves you can buy that you often see in children's craft kits. I added a few gold half pearls under each to try to make it appear like the leaf was falling. The scarecrow was in a set of fall felt images I found several years ago, and I added a few little confetti pieces to him to spruce him up. Finally, I used the same rusty orange paper and a quote from a Creative Expressions stamps set. I outlined the quote with a gold Sharpie. I also decided to outline the embossed centerpiece of my page too.
As always, we accept any form of art as long as it has some type of embossing on it. Please be sure to check out the examples my design team members shared also.
I hope you have fun embossing and share your creations with us here at Try It on Tuesday.
I will also be linking up this page to Sharon's Hello Autumn art journal challenge over at Art Journal Journey. Please remember if you join Sharon at AJJ to only link up journaling, not cards, tags and other art forms.

You put a lot into that journal page. I love the embossing you created. That center image is dry embossed perfectly. And thanks for also sharing this at AJJ using Sharon's theme.
Such a pretty autumnal page!
Love it Erika

Embossing is so pretty!
This is fabulous Erika. I can see you have been waiting to make some lovely Autumn art! I am still trying to hold on to Summer even though the weather man on TV tells me its Meteorological Autumn! Hugs, Chrisx
Lovely fall page
Lovely fall page
this is a another beautiful autumn page--I'm eagerly awaiting sweater weather ;-)
I really like this. So full of autumn. Very nice indeed.
This is cute. Makes me long for cooler weather.
This sure speaks autumn beautifully - though I am sad Summer is gone and here everything is all still green, too. Hugs and to a good September
Fantastic colours and page Erika, the image you added looks so cute.
Hope all is well with you .
Hi Erika! Your art journal page is absolutely stunning! I love your background and the amazing techniques you used. I love that you are sharing your talents with everyone. Now I am going to have to try some embossing!!! Hugs, Sharon
The sentiment says it all about this journal page Erika, Autumnal splendor.. Full of seasonal colour. Although I find it hard to relate to Autumn until we are over the hump of September the excessive heat has already tricked the trees into thinking we are half way into it. Hope you are keeping well??
I'm having internet issues so hope I can get this typed and sent before it goes again..
Take care Hugs Tracey x
A fabulous Autumnal page Erika, a great background incorporating the embossed panel. Lovely textures with the falling leaves and that little scarecrow is so cute. Avril x
