Embossing Bigger Stamps


I realize I have posted yet another thing to do with spring, but didn't I say I was behind in my scrapbooking?! These pictures were taken last summer! I had wanted to use Knobbly Gnomes with the Big Blossom, but I wasn't sure how until I started to look thru my box of 2006 photos. These photos just seemed perfect to me.

The only embossed image on my scrapbook page is the Big Blossom stamp. I wanted to show how much of a "pop" it is to use the same color craft ink as the powder you are embossing with. I chose white craft ink and white embossing powder to use on the Marigold Morning cardstock. I think that using the white craft ink with the white embossing powder is a little more of an eye catcher than if I used clear embossing powder. Maybe it's just me, but the white does make this page look a little brighter. The photos in this page came from my aunt who used to do photograhpy as a career. The flowers are grown around her house.
