TLC416 Mice Morning Routine

Photo Details

Poster: Crafty Julia

For this week's Dry Emboss and Sanding on patterned paper, I used Stampabilities' Boring and House Mouse Maxwell stamps for my card- in honor of the beginning of the traditional work week! Added some dc buttons, and a dc flower shape. My brown vertical border was embossed with Sizzix's Branches with Leaves #2 EF and "sanded" with a ginger grater :)

I like how you added a torn edge to add even more distress to your embossed panel.

How cute, Julia! Have to laugh because my sis had a mouse named Maxwell when we were kids.
