I'm back with another great challenge over at the ABC Christmas Challenge blog. It's just the most fun. I think, anyway. I love Christmas cards and the challenges presented every two weeks going systematically through the alphabet just speaks to the organized, A-type personality, nerd in me. I love it. Please do check it out and play along if you haven't already. I'm sure you will get into the spirit of things rather quickly. :D

This challenge is letter E - Embossing! It can be any type of embossing. I went with Heat Embossing white stripes on my aqua blue panel below....
I used the Bold Diagonal Stripes background stamp from MFT stamped in VersaFine ink and White heat embossed. I then die cut the scalloped panel using the Stitched Mini Scalloped Rectangle STAX. (I'm addicted to these. I have the rectangle and circles, but wished I had them all! :D)
The scarf is from the Winter Warmth set (Stamp and matching die), I used the sentiment from LLD Hug In A Mug stamp. I die cut the flag for the sentiment using the Stitched Fishtail Flag STAX. My scarf is stamped in Grape Jelly Hybrid ink and Boysenberry Dye ink. (perfect combo!)
I hope you will check out the fun over at the ABC Christmas Challenge! We love seeing your creations! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!
God Bless,
Mandy
