I thought the set of three MFT IB Flowers would work perfect with today's Free for All Friday to use the emboss resist technique. It looked so easy. Well I tried it with all 3 flowers, but threw two of them out as being total failures. I'm not real happy with this one, but at least the technique worked and the card overall turned out nice. It does look a little better IRL.
The MFT stamps make a very clean impression, and the embossing looked fine ... until I started sponging. LOL!

Very pretty design, and I like how you framed the image with the flourishes. I find that if I use white embossing powder it shows up more. Thanks for posting my card on the prize thread. tfs

Your results are much prettier than you credited yourself. Reminds me of beautiful waterlilies on my grandparent's lake when I was a kid. I didn't have much fun with this technique either. I guess that's why they term it a "challenge".

Very pretty! I think you did just fine on the sponging!
