I totally forgot I had this stamp, called Paisley Tree by Impression Obsession, but found it tucked away and I couldn't resist getting my embossing stuff out to have a play.......
For this first one, I embossed the image in gold (Ranger) embossing powder, and sprinkled some gold seed beads on. Cutting it out was a bit fiddly, but worth it. Because I used a white background card, and stamped the image on white, I didn't cut out all the detail on the tree, just around the edge of the image. I stamped a script stamp (Rusty Pickle) and added a strip of lace and some bling
Doesn't this one look different? I embossed the image with clear embossing powder, then swiped the whole panel with green distress ink, then wiped the ink off the tree
We are back home from London, after a great visit to see the grandkids - they were as pleased to see us as we were to see their little faces. (Monty was having a bit of a panic in case we were going to take him back to our house with us, he shook his head gravely, like a doctor giving a patient very bad news just at the thought of it. Funny little chap)
A friend of mine has been asked to a social occasion that she really doesn't fancy going to, but can't think of an excuse to get out of it. I gave her some excellent advice - say you have bubonic plague, or bird flu, that way nobody will come to your door with chicken soup, then say there has been a miracle healing overnight and you are now fit and healthy again - this excuse has the added benefit that the Pope may consider you for sainthood.
See you tomorrow......
