My card is a tad late for our latest challenge at Sweet Stampin' which went live yesterday but there's still plenty of time for you to join in ..the theme this week is 'embossing'. I used a really cute Stamping Bella Tiny Townie stamp which I've colored with copics and Wink of Stella pens. Loads of different embossing folders used on the patchwork background which has been made up of small stitched edge die cuts.
Our sponsor for this week is is the fabulous Flat Friends so there's a lovely prize awaiting our lucky winner! Why not pop over to Sweet Stampin' now to check out the inspiration from my lovely teamies? We'd love to see what you make of this challenge too....just remember to use a stamp somewhere as well as the embossing!
Got to rush off now...will be back later to catch up on what you've all been up to while I've been away!!!
Have a lovely day!
Chris
