Believe it or not, this would have to rank up there with one of the craziest things I've done in the name of craft! No, it's not the fact that I embossed in gold on coloured vellum, but the fact that I actually heat embossed in a house with no air conditioning, when the temperature is predicted to reach 44 degrees Celsius today (that's 111.2 degrees Fahrenheit!). The past two days have already been over 40 degrees, and tomorrow is predicted to be the same again - so I think I could almost have embossed without my heat gun ;)
Created to play along with the gorgeous sketch created by Leigh over at
CAS(E) this Sketch - go check out the FABULOUS gallery and DT samples -
Clearly Besotted Love Challenge using these amazing stamps and sentiment from Clearly Besotted, and
Simon Says Stamp Emboss It Challenge and paper from Studio Calico. Folded the vellum by creasing along the feather stem using my thumb nail and then folding upward, and adhered the feather to the card by applying Dimensional Magic along the back of the crease line.
So pretty! This sentiment always makes me giggle. Where exactly is my fancy that is being tickled? lol!
