You're One of a Kind - CC414

Photo Details

Poster: Loll Thompson

For today's color challenge (certainly celery, chocolate chip, crumb cake) ... with the "dessert" being dry embossing.

I used watercolor paper, sponged ink and water mister to create the aged fern. The picture frame is Crumb Cake cardstock with Chocolate Chip ink applied directly with the stamp pad and dragged along the edges to create distressing. I dry embossed the backdrop of the frame with forest branches.

For more details, check out my blog

Great sponging on the fern - it really does look aged (but not dead like the ones I have to clean up in my garden!)
