Vase of Flowers

Ok ladies... are you up for a new challenge...  our creative friends Gail and Jo have thought it's time to make use of those EMBOSSING FOLDERS we have that rarely see light of day, so they're challenging us to "SQUASH THEM"..... go ladies, it's a great idea

Once I decided which geometric design from my stash of EF to use, along with the fact that I didn't want to use the embossing as a background, I decided on a vase of flowers.  My embossing folder (Cuttlebug A2 Border Pop Culture) is a narrow border one - so first I die cut my vase in light aqua blue metallic card using part of a label die, then I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the EF to create a border pattern... added a row to the base too.  Then from my huge stash of splotched and smooched papers I die cut a number of green leafy bits and flower pieces and arranged all these in the vase on a white card panel... to finish I used foam sheet to mount it to a white card.

EDIT - these are the items I used - die label for the vase and border strip embossing folder.

So why don't you join me and have some fun at Let's Squash It challenge #1 - Geometric and Metallic

Thanks for stopping by my blog   ---   have a Happy Day and stay safe
