Since DH used the last thank-you card from my stash yesterday, and since my boss kindly rostered me off today, I thought I'd sneak another quick card in for the TLC before I start on some badly-needed housework.
The TLC challenge is Faux Pressed Flowers and you can find it HERE, with the option of not using flowers but simply doing embedded embossing with other elements.
Plenty of Primas here, so I used those after stamping the Baroque Motifs flourish. I used the TE brick wall ef for embossing, and edged it with grey ink. The little hedgehog image was lying on the ground behind my Wizard, for some reason, and between the brick wall and the flower he's holding, I thought I'd add him to the card. The sentiment from SNSS suited the baroque swirl - I punched it with an oval punch and sponged the edges with the same grey as the main panel. Hedgie and sentiment are popped up on foam tape. Six Primas have seen the light of day .

Oh DUH!! I have a brick wall EF and now I see that has enough pits and dents to work well with this technique! I really like that eclectic collage of flowers gracing the wall. Such a happy setting for your hedgie.
