Well Hello Everyone Again!

This is my second post of the day.

It's Saturday again which means it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss and this week our challenge is "Embossed".

Our sponsor for the challenge is the very generous Heather's Hobbie Haven so if you want to be in with a chance to win a voucher to spend in their on line store then what are you waiting for?  As always make sure you check out what the lovely DT Girlies have made for your inspiration.

Here is my card:

I adore this sweet image - you can tell how much she loves and adores her precious teddy.

Now if you are wondering where the embossing is then take a good close look at the dark pink section - do you see it ;o) just a few little dots here and there.

Oh my look at the picture of the little roses - typical; when I want glitter to show up on my card it doesn't and when I want it to be subtle it ends up looking all clumpy like this ;o)  It looks much better in real life - honestly!

The recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Mo Manning for Stamping Bella - Love Ya

Papers:  Bildmalarna - Welcome Collection and Welcome Baby Pink

Sentiment Die:  Whimsy - Slider 1

Sentiment Stamp:  Whimsy - Everyday Sliders 1

Roses:  Die-namics - Mini Rolled Rose

Leaves:  Poppystamps - Gentle Leaf

Polka Dots Embossing Folder:  Cuttlebug - Polka Dots

The image has been coloured with Copics, Promarker, Flexmarker and a bit of 70% Cool Grey Prismacolour Pencil:

Skin:  E11 E00 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)

Hair:  E55 E53 E51 E50
