Rock The Red

It is time to Rock the Red with Emerald Creek Craft Supplies and I am posting for Part 2!! This is a bittersweet post for me as it is my last one as on official member of the Emerald Creek Design Team. I know I'm usually a "Chatty Cathy" but I'm not sure I have the words for this post that will fully describe what being a part of Emerald Creek has meant to me. From the day I received the e-mail saying I was on the team to now has been one of the best times of my life. I have been honored to be part of team with some of the most talented ladies I've seen and I have been so lucky to meet so many of them. Thanks to Kim seeing something in my projects that she liked, I have been able to be a part of a huge community of creators and am very fortunate to call some of these talented, kind people my friends. And of course, one of the most important is Kim, the genius behind Emerald Creek Craft Supplies. She is incredibly supportive, kind, generous and really any other wonderful thing you can use to describe a person. I admire her drive to to be a Mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend and to grow her incredible business, while she works outside of the home too. And while I may not be posting monthly for this incredible lady, I will always support her and her company because of who she is, what she represents and the the top quality of her products. Emerald Creek has become my crafty family over the last year and a half and I love them and for all the support and help and generous help as I find my way in the crafty world, I will be eternally grateful. Still not the right words for how much Kim and EC mean to me but a valiant effort :) I'll be in my corner with my blankie and some tissue now.
So I guess I should show you the project now right?! LOL

Emerald Creek has always inspired me, have become my crafty family and we've had a few laughs along the way!

I painted a canvas board with a mix of Distress Paint in Spun Sugar and Candied Apple. I then gesso'd hearts with the TH stencil, after that was dry I used my embossing dauber and embossed hearts with Emerald Creek Candy Red and a mix of Candy Red EP and Fractured Ice. Love the texture!

I got the heart with wood pieces idea from The Artful Maven and a project she did. I cut up bits of wood and embossed them all in Candy Red EP and glued them to a grungeboard heart I had in my stash.

Love the texture and colour I got from mixing Fractured Ice EP with the Candy Red EP.

I embossed this little wood piece with embossing ink and Candy Red EP. Got quite a smooth finish on this.

If you want more texture, I used Distress Paint and Candy Red EP. I found with the paint I got more texture when I embossed.

I also used the Distress Paint on this one and embossed it with the Fractured Ice, so much texture on this one!
