Embossing and Nature

Here is a card I made  for the Friday Mashup, which was to use embossing, along with something from nature. I used Element of Style stamp set, which are some beautiful cabbage roses and some other small flowers. I stamped the vine image over the background using marina mist, I then embossed it with my square lattice die. For the main image stamped in stazon ink, then colored using marina mist and pretty in pink ink and my blender pen, the leaves are done the same way with wild wasab. Before attaching the front I placed pretty in pink satin ribbon and made a bow and attached it.
Love this set and I love the way this turned out.
Thanks for Looking.

Team Meeting Swap

Hi Everyone, well this coming Thursday, I'm getting together with Catherine, Darlean, and Connie, which we are all a part of Catherine's down line, we are going to do a swap of two cards, So this is the first card that I've decided to make for the swap. I love the elegance of this set and think it is one of the best sets that Stamping Up has out there right now. Anyway The background uses the swirl from the set, then embossed with the square lattice folder. The main image is stamped with Stazon and colored with inks and blender pen in Marina Mist, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery.
Thanks for looking
