Simon Says Challenge - Emboss It !

Good morning ! What a lovely one it is too and looks like it is going to be another scorcher ! Unfortunately for me, I am stuck in the lounge, on the sofa with my feet up as I lost my footing on Monday morning and have very badly twisted my ankle (I hope !). I am now hobbling around on crutches and having to crawl up the stairs ! Apart from the swelling and it now looking very black with bruise it doesn't seem to have got any worse so I am hoping and praying it is just sprained. Whey they can't just x-ray it at the time is beyond me but there you go. They said the pain was "too general" and wait and see what happens !

It's Wednesday and that means another challenge from us lovely girlies at Simon Says Challenge ! We are really pleased to announce too that Marcea has come back to join us - whooo hooo ! Welcome back !

Don't forget that there is also the children's challenge that is still running and you can find that HERE !

Our challenge this week is EMBOSS IT ! so we want to see some embossing on your project. The Design Team are featuring Belles and Whistles Stamps this week. You don't have to use them but we would love to see them if you have any.

The lucky winner will win a $50 shopping spree in the Simon Says Stamp Superstore !!

The DP's are DCWV "The Linen Closet". I just love these papers as some of them are all glittery and embossed and such gorgeous colours too. The photo really doesn't do these papers justice.

I used a Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop punch for the edges.

The Belles and Whistles stamp I used is called Beary Big Hugs - I just love this stamp ! She has been coloured with a mixture of Copics and ProMarkers.

The flowers are a mixture of ones from my stash and a gorgeous fabric rose I cut from a Bo Bunny border trim of them.

Now I will confess to forgetting about the embossing part of this card (blame it on the pain !) so I punched some leaves and embossed them with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. The papers I suppose can be classed as embossed to with the raised pattern on them.

The sentiment ticket is by Hero Arts and is called "Fair and Gems"

We hope you can join us this week in our challenge and if the kids are getting bored, get them creating and join in with our special children's challenge. They too can win a $50 spending spree !

Off to put my feet back up !

Thank you for your visit and hope you have a great day !
