Craft Room Challenge-Emboss It
I quake in my shoes when I see the word emboss-well except for using the Cuttlebug and folders type of embossing that is. They do say practice makes perfect so I thought now was the time to put aside my fears and have a go as I do love to join in the Craft Room Challenges
I stamped the flower border once in the middle and used bronze embossing powder. Then again in bronze ink and clear embossing powder and lastly I used some silver embossing powder on another row. I used a brayer to add some brown ink all over the piece and the embossed parts showed up better.
I made the flower from a tutorial at Live the Dream and inked some wooden shapes to stick on and also some text shapes that I got in a swap ages ago.
I know the embossing leaves a lot to be desired :( but I will keep trying :)
Thank you for the challenge and the wonderful samples by the Designers
A fantastic project, love your embossing.
