It sits right in front of our patio doors (another spring sigh!) the sun was shining in so beautifully and I thought this would be a great location for a shot ~ not so! Take a peek in the background, you can see the snow piled up on the deck ~  'GOT SNOW' This was my first attempt at the Emboss Inlay Technique ~ it was so fun to play with this ~ can't wa...
