Embossing???!!!!

It’s my Mom’s 90th very soon and I wanted to make her a very special card.
I’ve made her quite a few over the years and couldn’t think what to do.
Then I saw the Art Journey Challenge to use embossing powder in the background.
Great I thought, I haven’t used embossing powders for ages so I dug them out and made a start.
That’s when it all went wrong!!!!!

My versa mark met stamp ok and then I sprinkled the powder!! On the stamp????!!!!

A quick wash and I started again, this time on the card………….in the wrong place!!!!!!!!

Undaunted I thought third time lucky………………………..

Wrong!!!!!!
More like unlucky………………..

I’d stamped a button stamp onto card, 6 of them, embossed and cut them all out. Went to heat my new stamped image and lost all my buttons, …………on the floor which by now was sparkling beautifully at me.

As I went to pick them up I walked out my slippers ‘cos they were sticking to the floor!!!!!! Tripped over the slippers and banged my head on the table......

This is my Ode to Embossing!!

Now I like to make flowers or even a posy, my card making skills I think are quite rosy!

Scrap-booking, stamping and using ink, are all skills I’ve nearly mastered, I think……………………………….............

But this powder has got me beat!!

It’s in my hair and on my feet!!

Mom’s card is now on hold until I’ve recovered and don’t feel so old.

The challenge at Art Journey?????????

This is what I salvaged, do you think any of them are worth submitting?

I don’t. lol
