Sweet Stampin' - Embossing Challenge

Mornin'!  It's Saturday, so it must be time for a new challenge at Sweet Stampin'!  This week we'd like to see embossing (any kind) on your projects. We're being sponsored by Sir Stampalot who are giving away Molly Blooms stamps to one lucky winner and our monthly sponsor for March is the Ribbon Girl.

I opted for dry embossing using a floral folder which was free in a magazine.  The embossing was the easy part - I really struggled with the old mojo and will freely admit that the first attempt ended up being pulled apart as I was so unhappy with it.



Spot the deliberate mistake - I forgot to blend the shading on her hand and legs and didn't notice until the photo was uploaded - oops!

I used Magnolia DP and matched this with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The lace doily was in my stash and the lovely butterflies are from the latest Memory Box collection.

The Team Abi Sweeties have made the most gorgeous inspiration cards so do hop over here to take a peek.  We're also welcoming the lovely Barb to the team as our Guest Designer this month.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet as I want to get the housework and my school work done today.  I'll be back tomorrow with my Lovely hAnglar DT card.

Enjoy your day!
