This flower was from a Stamp Stack a few months ago and though it wasn't a perfect stamping, it held possiblilty.
I touched up the flower a bit with a blender pen & ink and then embossed it with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder to hide the rest of the imperfections.
I used the sketch challenge from SCS this week for the layout.
I stamped the #1 panel with En Francais background stamp in Cherry Cobbler. The #3 panel is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. It was a scrap piece and a perfect fit! And the #2 panel is embossed with my whacked Finial Press Embossing Folder.
Having 3 Embossed panels qualifies it for the Free For All Challenge, also at SCS to use at least 2 embossing folders for texture.
I love it when I can use up some of my leftovers that are taking up far too much space! Trouble is that I keep adding to the pile at a higher rate than I use.

Hello from a new fan! I am really enjoying your cards, and today I'm especially excited about how you embossed your image! I just used that ef for the first time recently, but never thought of embossing an image w/ it! And cherry cobbler seam binding? Am I living under a rock?! LOL Thanks for sharing all of your creations..you just never know what will inspire a fellow stamper! :)
