SSNOTIME77***EMBOSSED ELEGANCE


Time again for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge and today it's all about embossing.
It's not something I do alot of and I thought this challenge was a good one for simplicity!!
The Penny Black image is embossed in Queen's Gold embossing powder on dark green cardstock. A strip of ivory satin ribbon was added along the side with a sentiment from Papertrey Ink, stamped onto ivory cardstock and layered onto gold mirri card.
I needed simplicity today as I am up to my armpits in laundry, office work, groceries etc.
Did I just get back from a vacation or something??
Enjoy the weekend everyone and try some embossing!
