 Items used:

Stamp - Forever Friends, sentiment tags - LOTV
Coloured with ProMarkers
Dies - Memory Box and Spellbinders
Embossing folder - Crafts-Too
DP, Stickles, twine, button and pearls from my stash

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Penny Black & More - Feature a creature

As You Like It - Favourite Embossing & Why - (I used to like heat embossing but my ink always dried out so now prefer to use embossing folders, they give reliable results every time)

Thanks for stopping by today and any comments you leave are really appreciated.
Have a good week.
