Lawnscaping Challenge #83: Embossing

06/2/2014

I can’t believe it is already June! May was certainly a fun month. I am writing these blog posts from the Columbus Ohio Airport ๐Ÿ™‚ I just attended the Simon Says Stamp Create event, and promise to blog more about that later this week. For now you can see posts about my trip on instagram here.

Hey everyone! It is already time for another Lawnscaping Challenge, can you believe it!? This one was fun to do because I got to play with brand spankin’ NEW Lawn Fawn AND some new embossing powder I picked up at Papercraft Clubhouse.

You all know I love summer and I LOVE the beach even more, so needless to say I was WICKED excited when Lawn Fawn created this set “Life is Good”

When I visited Papercraft Clubhouse in CT on National Scrapbooking day, I picked up “aged aqua embossing enamel” powder from Stampendous. I just KNEW it was going to be perfect for my beachy creations! I embossed some of the beachy shells in white on kraft cardstock. I then tore some kraft cardstock making layers of beach.

I pressed the endges of these into versamark and poured the embossing enamel over it. then I melted it with my heat tool. For the sentiment I embossed “life is good” in white on kraft and created a pennant. Instead of attaching it flat I curved it this way and that around a pencil so it looks like its flowing in the beachy breeze!
