Anne graciously agreed to host this week's SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge since I was a tad overscheduled for the weekend ... however I had a few minutes this morning to create before the activies begin, so I thought it would be fun to join her. I chose this wonderful Albena Carved Frame from My Deco to inspire me ... I loved the wonderful white-on-white texture.
Since it's Earth Day on Monday, Playing in Paradise is using something recycled ... so I dug back through my paper sample books and found a gorgeous linen paper with wonderful recycled threads running through it. I wanted to try out my new Darice Henna Embossing Folder ... and love the effect.
I used another scrap of recycled paper to stamp my Birthday Sentiment from Crafter's Companion Swentiment Swirls, and added some black mats to incorporate the *frame* design.
Oh my! Simple but LOVELY! That embossing is just stunning! Thank you for Playing in Paradise with us this week!!
