Make it Monday - Heat Embossing and Winner!

Hey Friends! Well another week now begins..don't you just wish that the weekend would never end? I sure do..LOL. We had quite a cold snap here yesterday, so sure means that old man winter is knocking at the door...I cannot wait to get all nice and cozy near the fire and write my blog posts to you all.

Today, I decided at the last minute to make a card for the Make it Monday, I think that I will be just scrapping it in..LOL, but what with being quite sick this past week, I really have had no energy to create anything, I also feel that some of my mojo has decided to go on sick leave also.

(Please excuse the photo, I was having a couple issues with settings)

I took white card stock, trimmed it to form a card and using one of the Polka Dot background stamps from Polka Dot Basics 2 stamp set, inking it with some Sweet Blush ink and stamping at the base of the card, embossing it with clear embossing powder. Next, taking some Sweet Blush card stock, cutting a circle out of the card stock and stamping the large Mum Flower from the Year of Flowers, Mum's stamp set, with Versamark Ink and embossing once again with clear embossing powder. Trimming more Sweet Blush card stock to form a tag and stamping the sentiment from the same stamp set with Versamark Ink and also embossing with clear embossing powder. Adhering to the card, adding some pearls to one side of the sentiment, lastly, corner rounding the top right hand corner to complete.

So before I leave you today, I will be announcing the winner of the Digi image of Mr Snail, but first I wish to thank each and everyone of you for leaving such beautiful comments not just on the post of Mr Snail but for all of my posts, you are truly the best readers ever...so the lucky person to have won this image is:
