Garden in the Pocket

 DS4J sponsors challenges and this week they are sponsoring Artistic Inspirations.
The lovely image I used for this project is Freshian Booklet

I used Marianne designables folder DS0907 (unfortunately no longer available)

I love these folder as they emboss and cut at the same time. Image is colored with copics . I loved adding the skeleton leaf. The flowers and the book made me think of how we press flowers into a book.

The sentiment is from paper trey ink. It is stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder.

Hope this inspires you to try embossing.
