When I looked at the site for the inspiration challenge today I spotted this pillow http://www.companyc.com/accessories-...ries/18768.htm right away and immediately thought of using the inset embossing technique to replicate the beautiful pattern. The sentiment panel was inspired by this pillow http://www.companyc.com/accessories-...lime/18775.htm. I hand cut leaf shapes in River Rock, Old Olive and Always Artichoke, the berries are stamped onto Rose Red and Regal Rose then cut out, the stems are die cut using Little Leaves. All were glued onto Garden Green then run through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
