The Best Thing

No colouring :o
Dry embossing on pearlescent card stock with few shades of silver.

Embossing is done with Crafters Companion Ultimate Pro Embossing Board - Ulti-Bags
and of course Crafters Companion The Ultimate Crafter's Companion Pro (tools, cutting blade, embossing tool, measuring)
Ultimate Pro is unbelievable handy!
Swirl is from Joy Crafts collection
Silver corners are from China
Flower is (naturally) my own made using very thin mulberry paper
Sentiment found from a book or internet.
Usual Snopake glue and Pinflair

Now then... Couple of challenges I had in mind:

Embossing Boards Update

Remember this post?

After this I got bored to take pics, but there are 28 boards altogether. 

Also some ribbon, pair of scissors, 2 x bowmakers (different sizes)...

All this cost £44 delivery included.

Window Sill Tea Lights

Tea light village on the window sill.

How Many Embossing and Scoring Boards?

Oh! What have I been doing, cos haven't been blogging anything over three months. THREE MONTHS! Forgot my changed password. That was a start.

Ok, here we go: How many embossing and scoring boards are in this photo?

Of course there is a back story for everything... This was up for auction on ebay (UK) and there were couple (maybe more) boards I was after, then thought, well, I'll have a go. Got them. It was sold as "all stuff in the photo, excluding the monitor on the background". No list of items.

Now can't wait the parcel to come.

Will edit this post with more pics when here. Ah, this is fab.
