E is for Embossing - Scrapology September Challenge - Pause for Thought...

Well another months challenge has arrived, our featured scraplift is by Kelly Goree, hop over to Scrapology to find out more...

I have used Basic Grey Kioshi papers, element stickers and alphabet.

I cut a 3" strip of the stripey paper and 10" of the floral then overlapped onto the stripes to create the 12x12" page. A panel 6.5 x 9" was cut from the pale green and added to the R/H side and a 4x12" of the lilac positioned across the lower half. The photograph was cut to 5.5 x 4.75" and double mounted.

The borders are from the elements sheet along with the bird and butterflies which were stuck onto card and mounted on 3d foam pads.

I cut a floral panel from another sheet which I added the the top of the lilac strip and then dry-embossed to enhance the leaves and flowers - had to add some stickles at this point too and a couple of buttons from my stash!

Below is a close-up. 

I added glossy accents to the butterflies bodies and faux stitching around the edges.

This is the sketch we worked from...

And the original layout by Kelly.

Closing date is the 5th October and a fab prize will be on offer for the winner.
