Hello - I'm back!

I bet you thought I'd disappeared off the face of the earth!!

I've been away on holiday for over 3 weeks and forgot to photograph the cards I'd made to blog while I ws away - so I decided gave myself the month off lol.... since I got home I've had a busy time preparing for my grand daughter's christening (I'll share some of my makes when I get myself organised - I love baby crafting) - its taken me until now to catch up with myself!!

But I'm here today because its challenge day at 

The Paper Shelter Challenge blog

and our theme this week is

Embossing 

(any kind wet or dry)

I used the lovely Rowena for this card
a steam punk inspired creation with a floral twist!

(The flowers and hearts are dry embossed

the tag at the bottom is wet embossed)

As always we have a fab prize for you at 

The Paper Shelter

Here's what I did
