Challenge 843

Good morning, it's Val here with a new challenge and I have chosen....

Embossing

or Anything Goes

It can be any type of embossing, there are so many beautiful embossing folders available which crafters use to great effect with both simple and more detailed techniques, or it can be wet embossing using ink and powders, the occasion can be any you choose. All we ask is that you remember to include name/makes of the focal elements of your entry so they are eligible.

Our prize is this lovely Lisa Horton Rambling Woodgrain Rose embossing folder and coordinating stencils.

The Design Team have a lovely selection of different styles of embossing to inspire you and we are so pleased to have Lorraine with us as our Guest Designer, thank you for joining us Lorraine.
