"Less is More" Challenge #277 - theme

 This week at "Less is More" our theme is things that go pop or bang.  Yikes!  For a while I couldn't think of anything at all that would fit the challenge but when the panic subsided I realised that, of course, there are balloons.  Then I remembered a favourite Acid Drops and What Not stamp with a gun...
Wendy's birthday was yesterday, she owned the Stamp Attic in Wantage for many years and she does love her coffee!  Computer generated sentiment, image coloured with Copics and some foliage gently stencilled in with SU Soft Sky.
My second card, using lightbulbs, again has a computer generated sentiment.  The Mama Elephant stamps use Wow platinum embossing powder with Memento black and dandelion inks.  There is a scattering of teeny sequins,  covering up ink smudges.  I have a Canon printer, with authentic Canon inks, but to my annoyance nothing that I print seems to "set" - including both these sentiment cards.  Does anyone have any suggestions for preventing this please?

    Don't know who you would send that first one to or why, but it sure is funny!

    Great cards, Anne, love the sentiment on the first one. I, too, have a Canon printer with their own label inks and find that If I can get Debbie Moore Print magic powder onto the printing pdq, then heat-set it, I end up with an embossed finished. For some reason I find it only works with the black ink and that if I try to use the leftover card a second time it doesn't work at all! Go figure!! Hope it helps.
