Imke has a fun challenge for us this week, Old or New Trends. She would like for us to create something that includes a popular trend. It can be a current or past trend. This might include a popular technique, stamp company, embellishment, just include this on your project. She is looking forward to hearing why you chose what you did.

I have combined old and new trends. Heat embossing is probably why I started stamping in the first place. It is just so magical to me. It's popularity has waxed and wained during my years as a stamper, but I really love the way we are currently using it to make wonderful backgrounds. Sequins are another more current trend I love! I mentioned this stamp, I purchased it 20+ years ago on one of my first visits to Hawaii. I hate to say this, but this is probably only the second time I have ever used it...not even sure the company is still in business. I used Copic markers to color it up.
I know you are going to want to see what the Girlfriends have to share so head over to the Little Red Wagon and follow their links. I hope you'll consider joining us this week!
Aloha,

Fabulous card, Brenda. Love the look of the gold embossing - fit´s perfectly with this stamp. I use this technique rarely but it´s a great one. And of course sequins - love them !
