 A birds eye view on the embossing and flowers

Take a look at how the embossing is so deep. The sanding helps to bring out the pattern.

Love the clock handles.

Another close look at the luscious flowers...love the centres.

Well thats all the crafters Companion love from me this week.

Next week I have for you another card using the deep embossing folders, with lilies.

Till then, inky hugs to all.
