The lovely Jen Schuls from The Deconstructed Sketch challenge blog previewed the next sketch on facebook today and I absolutely love it! I also popped back to the newly found (for me) and fun Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog and loved the challege they have posted so I am playing along with both today.
Here are the challenges:

This week the challenge is EMBOSS IT
Dry Emboss, Heat Emboss or use Embossing Paste :-)
I love this challenge as it has got me playing with my embossing folders again!
So here is the card I created:
The papers were from Echo Parks Sweet Girl collection. I also used my favourite mini swiss dots embossing folder and I grabbed out some of my MFT die namics to play with - Blue Prints 3, Large Numbers and LLD Insert - It 3x4 notepad. I also used their gorgeous felt for the flowers.
I used some foam mounting tape to give the elements some dimension.
The embossed elements were embossed in two different ways. The scrap of yellow and the pink insert-it piece were embossed with the dots coming upward and I sanded them to enhance the pattern. The large yellow piece was embossed in reverse so the dots sank back into the card.
I also incorporated some edge distressing, ribbon and two Maya Road butterfly pins.
This card is for my Great Niece who will be turning two very soon - hope she likes it!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
