Emboss frame

 Hi Everyone, I have nil mojo again, but because I was trying to make another card, this came about. I embossed the frame, wasn't happy with it, then tried colouring it, wasn't happy with that, a few days later still on my desk, I looked at it and thought it looked pretty and decided to just add a centre with a trial I had made with Pixie Powder. I die cut flowers 3 times, (which I thought looked similar to the embossed flowers) and coloured them sameish. An embossed sentiment and it was done and I'm sort of happy with it.

A short post, as I have to come up with a baby boy card, one of my nieces has become a Grandmother for a second time this Monday. He is a handsome 8lb 2oz  lad (of course LOL). All I need now is inspiration from somewhere, I have looked  everywhere, think that's a good idea, then ah! that's a good idea and get myself confused, it will be interesting to see what comes through to my mind, it had better be good, as the first baby had what I would call an extra special card here from me and I don't want this to be less.

Hmmm...that's what you create with no mojo??? I'd say your mojo is firmly in place! It's a fantastic card, Faith! I agree...those flowers coordinate beautifully with the embossed flowers! :o)

A fabulous card Faith, such a pretty frame - it looks like your Mogo is at home to me!
I always turn to Pinterest when I'm looking for inspiration, it can get a bit overwhelming though.
