It's time for the final Inspiration post over at Let's Squash It! where we're playing where we're playing Emboss/Deboss.
I've really enjoyed this challenge and have loved trying different ways of combining both sides of my EFs on the same card. It appears that this technique has captured the imaginations of our participants as we've got some beautiful, really inspirational cards in the gallery.
During this challenge I've been especially interested in trying to use the small EFs that I seem to have acquired along the way. I was messing about with a piece of watercolour card and a small EF from Sizzix; just flipping the folder backwards and forwards and running it through my Cuttlebug. I came up with this panel and thought it was perfect as a background.
I'm so pleased with the texture and the pattern made with just this little folder to play with. The flowers were sent to me by one of my Card Chain Challenge buddies, Lucille. Aren't they lovely? She sent them all coloured and ready to use, so putting my card together was just so quick and easy. The sentiment is from a cute set by Funky Fossil called Small Print #2.
You've still got until March 31st to come and play along, so why not break out those EFs and come join the fun!

Fabulous effect with that striped ef, Jo - love it!! Perfect for your spring bouquet!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Ohh I love this Jo! What a fab background to set off those pretty flowers!
Awesome technique and background. The background can even compete with the flower in being the star of this card.
