Magical Monday: Inspiration Picture Challenge

This week at Paper Cupcakes we have an awesome picture for all of our challenge participants to use for inspiration.  In fact the colors in this picture have a wonderful summer feel.  So I picked a cute summer stamp from Paper Cupcakes and used a Sketch from CPS.

Paper Cupcake-Magical Mondays: Embossing Challenge

Well this is the 2nd go around with this tag.  The first time I was really pleased with the outcome of my cute little monkey tag.  But I didn't see that I was supposed to use this weeks FREEBIE!  DUH!!!  So here is my new tag using this beautiful flower vase!  Embossing you ask??? Where is it???  It is there I promise.  The patterned background totally drowned out the paisley dry embossing :( 

Here is the 1st...where you can actually see the embossing (stars)!  Just the wrong image!
