I like to scrunch the ribbon. It’s so easy and it gives a big wow effect. I haven’t tried the inlaid embossing and that looks like fun too.
can’t wait to see! My fave technique (at the moment) is distressing.
Gorgeous as always!!!!
My favorite technique is right now heat embossing. I love the colors of your card, can’t wait to see it revealed.

Your “peek” is lovely! Looking forward to seeing the entire card. I have several favorite techniques such as watercoloring, distressing, and creating handmade (or punch assisted) flowers. But one of my very favorite things to do is to cut out stamped pieces. It’s a challenge, requiring concentration and my magnifying glasses (LOL!!) but I love doing it!
Wow what gorgeous colors, can’t wait to see the whole card. I think my overall favorite technique is heat embossing, it just looks like magic when the image comes to life by just heating it!
My most recent favorite technique has to be sponging. I sponge the edges of many of the things I make.Thanks for the chance at blog candy.
What a “pretty peek”!, can hardly wait to see the rest of this great card. I love embellishments of any kind, but my new thing is using the texturizing folders…they are so great!
Thanks for a chance at some “blog candy”.
This looks gorgeous already, Ann! You know I will be back to check it out tomorrow, for sure! I’ve never tried inlaid embossing…yet! My favorite technique would probably have to be anything having to do with sparkles (glitter, Smooch, bling) and good ol’ heat embossing, too. (PS, my card today was “Ann-inspired”) 🙂
That flower is very interesting. Inlaid embossing – not sure if I know about that technique but eager to see what you do with it. As always, looking forward to the full reveal. As far as my favorite technique – I don’t know but lately I have been having a good time with punches. I will be stopping back in tomorrow to check this beauty out!

OOOh!!can’t wait. It’s just like Christmas morning. I love to emboss and then use my brayer. I also love to emboss with my big shot. Thanks for the chance to win blog candy 🙂
Favorite technique??? How can I choose…let’s see, heat embossing, no….it must be watercoloring, no..maybe paper piecing..no..I pick punch art….see??? How can you make me choose???
Can’t wait to all of the reveals. I love the Big Shot embossing. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favorite techniques would probably be embossing, but I don’t use it nearly enough – I tend to make a mess 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity for some yummy blog candy and all your shared creativity!!
I love the Inlaid Embossing that you did on your sneak peek. Truth is I have never tried that tecjnique and will have to try it some time soon. My favorite technique is embosssing.I like both heat embossing and using folders to emboss on my cards. I can hardly wait to see what all of your card looks like. 🙂
Mary
VERY intriguing… I can’t wait until the whole card shows up!
That’s a great sneak peak. I am such a floral person, can’t have too many flowers. My fav tech is making cards look vintage, with a little tearing, or crinkling and then adding some sponging to them. Vanilla is one of my favorite cs to work with.
You guys always inspire me…… thanks! 🙂
I love punch art and watercoloring.

You are such a tease with these sneak peeks. I love the rich color, and I know it is going to be another stunner. My favorite technique is watercoloring. I use it every chance I get. Thanks!

Gorgeous and rich looking! I know this will be another great creation from what I’ve seen!
My favourite technique is definitely dry embossing. If layering cardstock was a technique, I would add that also as I really enjoy the looks of
a card made with many layers of cardstock beneath a stamped image!
Can’t wait to see the reveal of the full card – it looks fabulous. Thanks for the blog candy opportunity.
cant wait to see your card. i too like the inlaid embossing tech. and all other embossing. i think it just reaks of beauty when a card has embossing on it.

Oooh…love the texture, here.
I love whatever technique I’m using at the time, but overall, I guess I love to heat emboss the most. You get so much bang for your buck, and the results can be quite dramatic.
Looking forward to the full reveal!
Heat embossing is so much fun to do. It’s like magic every time. And it would be magic to win rhinestones too!
I’m currently addicted to embossing-anything and everything! Can’t wait to see the full project.
Hi Ann! You know how much I enjoy your blog, as I am a daily visitor and get so much inspiration from you. I love, love to hear stories about the twins. My favorite at this time is the petal cone die. I just made a baby mobile with it inspired by carolscreations!
My favorite technique is sponging. Fun and relaxing.
I’m looking forard to the Summer Mini. There are always so many nice things in all the catalogs.
I can’t wait to see the card. The red looks like cherry cobbler, such a pretty color. The embossing is my favorite technique.
Oh can’t wait to see it. Love the texture and color from your peek 😀
My Favorite technique (sponging), I LOVE the vintange look it gives!

Love, love, love your cards and can’t wait to see this one! one of my favorite techniques would be using the big shot for embossing. I just tried the inlaid embossing and really liked the look.
You know I can’t wait for the full reveal!! My favorite technique is vintage! I love that I don’t have to be perfect, and the end result is GORGEOUS!!
Oh that looks beautiful! Right now my favorite technique is paper peircing, but I like embossing too, hmmmmm, decisions, decisions, lol.
Just by the sneek peek, I can tell this is going to be another one of your gorgeous cards. Can’t wait until we see the whole thing! I love to use my Big Shot and embossing folders the best. Kathy in AZ.
Oooh! The inlaid embossing is my new favorite technique. I did one recently but haven’t gotten a chance to upload it. That red really pops against the white. I can’t wait for the full reveal!
I’ve just had a peek at the new Summer Mini and all I can say is WOW! I love nautical and flowers so it is definitely “Christmas in July” or rather May! I can’t wait to see what you do with all the new stamp sets, papers and accessories.
OOPS, forgot to sign statement, I can’t wait to see the entire card tomorrow. Cherry Cobbler and white just pop.
I love it already! Can’t wait to see it!!
I can already tell it is one of my favorite colors and it also looks like my fav. emb. folder too??? Glad to see you didn’t blow away in all the storms.

Can’t wait to see the full card, these flowers are beautiful even with just the sneek peek! I would have to say my favorite technique is coloring of any kind, I love watercoloring especially!
I love texture on my cards so I think embossing is one of my favorite techniques. Notice how I said “one of”? I reserve the right to change my mind at least once daily, ha ha. Pretty flowers…I can’t wait to see the entire card!
OH MY! Are those flowers in Cherry Cobbler? I have to go stamp them in it now! WOW. You’ve totally inspired me to put the pinks down for a day! I can’t wait to see the whole card.
My favorite technique is anything using the markers. I love those things and find that I’m using them more than my ink pads lately.
Ann WOW!
What ever this is going to be it is going POP off that card. LOVE cherry cobbler and what else I ‘can’ see for sure. However, I was NOT going to purchase another flower set… but I can see that is not going to last! Hugs.
As for a favorite technique, hmmm. so many. I do love the embossed enbedding that is new to me, but embossing on any card is what I love. Hugs.
I love the card already! Since I have the Big Shot I have to say embossing is my favorite technique. Cards can have such a professional look with this technique.
Leslie said … I can already see that this will be a “must have” stamp set for me. I am a huge fan of embossing – the dimension it adds is just incredible! I can hardly wait to emboss with this particular set.
One of my favorite is the inlaid embossing also. My favorite tool is my big shot. I simply love to emboss everything! I am loving the new punches from the Summer mini. Just got them yesterday so I am off to see what I can create with them.
I have seen several sneak peaks of different products from the new summer mini catalog. They all look very inviting — and this one does as well. I sure wish my summer mini would arrive in the mail — more drool time to be sure!
The ‘peek’ really makes me wonder how gorgeous the real thing must be! Favorite technique….if adding pearls and shimmer mist to every card counts…that would be my favorite!
I haven’t tried the inlaid embossing technique yet. Really need to do that. I can’t say I really have a favorite technique. I usually just do whatever I feel like at the time. Can’t wait to see your card!
Love the red against the pure white. Can’t wait to see the full card.
Oh, can’t wait till you reveal your full card. It looks lovely.
I would have to say my favorite technique would have to be stamping / embossing and also using my MS paper punches.
Colleen
Oh I can’t wait until the reveal !!!
