Hello Sweet Friends! I am back with another Dogwood card. I've been having some serious mojo-less days... I should be working on my 3-D project for Craft Project Central, but I just can't get it together... making mistakes left and right...
I just had to take a break to make something simple... but even that took me a long time... nothing seemed to work, so I turned to a technique that USUALLY works: heat embossing on vellum.
It's pretty simple. The main image was heat embossed with white embossing powder, then fussy cut. TA-DA! Done!
Linking this up at CAS(E) this Sketch #119 and Just Add Ink #259: Sequins.
Thanks so much for stopping by,
Monika
