happy June!
it must be summer where you are. Here in the tropics, it's RAINING and FLOODING. gracious. I'm making a wish for the sun to come out.
More goodies from Crafty Secrets, and the last bit of one of my favorite trims. I am going to have to get some more pretty soon.....
I got the ribbons and posies from a little dinky shop in a poky old shopping mall. You never know where you'll find the best treasures!
Today I also have a card for The Shabby Tea Room. Our challenge this week is embossing.
I embossed both the cream and kraft cardstock, and used inks to bring out the embossing. My FIRST time embossing and I love it. However I will not use the embossing plates too much as they were borrowed from a friend and it would be dreadful if I spoiled them!
......sky and peony ribbons from MemrieMare.
here's to a happy week............ and wishes for better weather. More sun = better photos, right? I wish.

ReplyDeletebeautiful work Viola!lovely!you must be a busy bee! your work is everywhere! Congrats!
ReplyDelete"Saying a prayer ..." is beautiful! Love the flowers, the star, all the papers and lovely lace and ribbon! The "Dear Friend" card is darling as well. The scattered flowers and multi-colors of crinkle ribbon, all tied together, look sooo good! By the way, I don't think if you made 1,000 passes with an embossing plate or folder (metal or plastic) that it'd wear out! You're the sweetest! :)
