And pulled out the scrap cardboard and everything fell into place quickly after that.
Here is another project using the colors from this week.
I heat embossed my die cut four times with the embossing powder. I then inked up the Hero Arts Three ferns with versamark and while the embossing powder was hot stamped it in to create an impression. I then had an inspiration and added a layer of brown embossing powder into the fern impression and heated it up. Very cool! I then created a mini journal with pages to capture photos.
Now go take a look at all the other fabulous entries from the rest of the design team: and our fabulous guest designer this week is Elise Durenberger, go check out her blog Mamacow Creations . Our sponsor this week is Memory Box who is offering a lovely prize!
Hope to see you over at the Play Date Cafe!
