Magnolia Down Under Challenge DT - Embossing

It is time for another challenge at Magnolia Down Under Challenges and this week our theme is Embossing!! This can be dry embossing or heat embossing or even both if you like! I have decorated a little acetate box that had some Christmas decorations in it to make a small gift box for Valentine's Day. I have covered the box with Magnolia rose paper distressed with Tim's distressing tool and walnut stain distress ink.

I was going to use a mini Tilda with the embossed heart in the background but once I'd done the heart I changed my mind as it looks so lovely like this! I have embossed it with gold embossing powder onto white cardstock and then again onto red cardstock which I cut out and mounted on foam pads. I have created a border around the image with Magnolia doohickey lace die with kraft cardstock and inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink.

The gorgeous two tone hyrdrangea was a Christmas gift from Fran, thanks so much hun and I've teamed it with a deep burgundy one, some doohickey leaves and a heart pin from my stash.

I added some tiny roses from my stash and another gorgeous flower from Fran in the other corner! All the flowers have been sprayed with pearl glimmer mist.

Here's a peep at the side of the box. I've covered each panel of acetate individually so that you can just see the acetate at each edge. The whole image mat is raised on foam pads for some extra interest too.

Hope you like it and I've inspired you to join us this week at Magnolia Down Under Challenge! Pop over to the challenge blog to see the rest of the team's stunning creations!! They blow me away each and every week! Thanks for looking! x
