Embossed...

Is it Saturday already? I have no idea where the past week has gone!

This is a card I made for my dear blogging friend Caryn, and is also my (very belated!) sample for our embossing challenge on A Passion for Papertrey (where you'll find full details of the card).

I forget how much I love to emboss white on darker backgrounds and really must do it more often:




I also want to say a HUGE congrats to Aimes, one of my bestest blogging buddies who (AGAIN!!!!) won one of the main categories for January's Guest Star Stamper prizes - way to go hun!!

Have a great weekend everyone - and stay warm, it's freezing in the south west today!

Hugs Kate xx
