Morning everyone,the new challenge this morning at
TWISTED TUESDAYis "I want to see your folder"embossing folder that is -the challenge is use something beginning with "I"ink being the obvious,BUT I decided in my wisdom to go with iris folding and ink,now my bin is half full of folded strips of paper and I remembered why---I DO NOT DO IRIS FOLDING---LOL after I finished I realised I could not put embossing anywhere so took half the strips of and used black strips of embossed paper and inked a flourish for the balloon strings---THEN I decides the embossing wasn't really noticeable so decided to make another and as I was already late to post to challenge blog due to a late hospital appointment with O/H (for blood tests/ecg and he has to have a muscle biopsy)I was pushed for time(putting it mildly!!!)so I used the embossing paper as a background then an adorning square die in the centre with a flower made from old book pages and inked the edges with a rolled rose inside and done.
