Now that I went back and actually watched Lydia's video tutorial Crayon Rubbed Embossing Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers I discovered I hadn't done the technique quite right (which is probably why I had such trouble with it)! I used the elegant bouquet ef this time over Very Vanilla cs then brayered in Pumpkin Pie. I crumpled, tore and sponged the Old Olive layers and added a fork bow in Vanilla seam binding. We're pretending that I intentionally made a shadow behind my sentiment...the first stamping in Turquoise wasn't quite dark enough and even though I used my stamp-a-ma-jig, I didn't completely line up when I overstamped in Old Olive. These are the color challenge colors for this week and they're growing on me!
