Duo Embossing

I forgot to write down where I got this embossing folder, I believe it was in one of the British card making magazines but I am not positive, but I do have the name of it :)

I must confess I had a bit of a problem when embossing this. I left the paper in the folder as I was rubbing on the mouse on the bottom half of the folder and sanding the top. I then went to take it out of the folder and the paper was in two parts, it had come apart right at the middle seam. Since I had already done all that work I thought I would try to put it back together onto my card base and it seemed to look ok so I went with it.  I am thinking next time I might spritz the paper before embossing, I have heard that helps with the paper ripping but I have never had problems with that so I never tried it out.

I really love the patterns in this embossing. I have had this metal embellishment for some time, in fact so long that I didn't keep the packaging so I can't tell you who made it, but I wanted to use something that was small to add to this but not take away too much from the pretty embossing.

We are going to have 6 days straight without rain, I can't remember how long it has been since we have gone that many days without rain, the weatherman mentioned and it was over a month.  It was a bit damp yet when we mowed yesterday for the first time but it had to get done the grass was getting very long, so nice to have that done now :)  Hope you are enjoying good weather, I think spring just might be here for good now!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
