I combined today's two challenges. The CAS was "spotlighting"...which I did in a minimal manner and the TLC was Faux Pressed Flowers....which meant embedding flowers with an EF into a design.

Oh, Sallie, I love how you combined these 2 challenges. Your embossing only the branch and faux pressed flowers give a 3d effect with your birdhouse hanging directly below. It just brings it all to life. Love it!

Love your minimalist embossing with the faux flower technique..it looks wonderful with the spotlighted bird house. The added rick rack and button are just right and the extended branch and house corner are very artistic touches!

Wonderful design ... I especially like how you used the rickrak die.
