The time collage was embossed using detail black embossing powder on the designer paper. Then, the edges were swiped with the embossing pad and embossed with Distress Tea Dye EP. The designer paper behind the time collage is also from the same 7gypsies paper collection, and I lightly stamped the french script randomly. I love the soft edges the distress powder gave the black embossed image and the cherub face on the DP that was positioned under the small clock on the collage. (use a stamp positioner to get an image exactly where you want it when using a paper with a pattern)

Stamps: Time Collage, ATC Dream text, French Letter Background

Paper: 7gypsies Gypsy Market DP, Prism Sunflowers Dark, Blush Red Dark

Ink: Distress Embossing Pad, Distress Black Soot

Accessories: Metal corners, clock Faces, Brad, Black EP, Distress Tea Dye EP, Heat Gun

  9. Oh my goodness, Shelly. I hope to take some time to totally follow your details to recreate a similar background & embossed image. This is amazing to someone like myself. I need to become a "sponge"!
