Papertake weekly 'Elegant embossing'

I decided to join in with this weeks papertake weekly challenge which is as follows:

You just need to make your project with the 'Elegant Embossing' theme (wet or dry embossing!).

Well i couldnt resist,as i bought some cuttlebug embossing folders months ago,but couldnt try them out as my sizzix has been lent out to someone for the past 9 months,but i got it back a couple of weeks ago,so thought this challenge would give me the chance to try out the folders.
So here is my creation! Not exactly elegant...but it does have embossing...lol
I used white linen cs
ribbons from stash
cuttlebug embossing folder- spots n dots
brads-from stash
bella stamp - stamping bella
image couloured using watercolour pencils

a couple of cards

I know that i've been a bad,bad blogger the last few weeks or so...but its been one thing after another.I hope to be able to get back into the swing of things again and start posting at least once a day again,and get back to my blog hopping,and start taking part in the various challenges again!
For now heres a cpl of quick cards:)
The card below has been made using elements and papers from the free doodlementals kit.
A jumbo scallop circle punch
pink button - mm

IM BACK

Hello!!!!
It seems like ive been away from my blog...for like....forever!!!
My poor likkle blog has been sooo neglected :(
For a few weeks i had no internet,then when that was sorted i wasnt too well.
but hopefully now iam back to stay :)
I havent even crafted at all for bout 6 weeks or so...very unlike me.
This weekend i felt i really had to do something. I so want to get lots of scrapbook pages done.
Earlier tonight i decided that i was gonna do a page.
All my plain 12 x 12 papers n cardstock is packed away in my craft room (which at the mo is being used as a store room ) :(
...But i was determined to do a page...lol
So i had to kind of go with what i had to hand.
The paper is rather busy so i had to go with something quite simple.
I spent ages going round all the paper etc with a white gel pen doing dots...lol
The page actually turned out quite nice :)
When i finished it i realised that,those papers would co-ordinate with the sei aunt gerti's garden kit (Which i just love)...so i got the other few papers i have the same and popped them all with the sei kit.....ready to try another day...lol
