Autumn Birthday

 Over at Can you handle the pressure Blog the challenge is embossing with a twist of adding a Sentiment as your focal.  This stamp and die set makes a great focal for a sentiment. Of course I also had to add a flower ;)  I cut the sentiment and flower out of the same piece of background I had made using Oxide inks.

The embossing folder was given to me by April, I used Tim Holtz paper and sanded it a bit, I need to get a better sanding piece, mine doesn't seem to work as well.

I am also sharing with Simon Says Challenge anything goes.


  • Parklane - Embossing folder (JoAnn)
  • Distress Oxide background to cut out the flower and sentiments
  • Jillibean Soup - Enjoy stamp and die set JB1287
  • Spellbinders - Be Bold Blooms dies

I hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend. We have a rain chance almost everyday but seems to be in the evenings so not a wash out.

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

Connie

You did an awesome job with this challenge. Having one big sentiment works very well. And it coordinates very nice with your flower.
