Just an experiment to reduce the complexity of the picture into its most simple elements. The plant is a native buttercup, Ranunculus cymbalaria (Halerpestes cymbalaria). The cylindric worm-like patterns in the background are sedges, mainly Eleocharis sp. growing around/behind this plant. This could be an interesting technique to use in creating outlines for non-digitally created illustrations, e.g. line drawings.

This card was so fun to do and I can't remember where I saw the technique. It was so long ago and I have done so many card sets like this. If I come across something in my many many notes that tells me who shared this wonderful design I will come back and post.
First I punched out lots of circles, any sizes I could find. Then I have cut out a panel to emboss in the swiss dot folder, I lightly adhered the dots to the top third of the panel then put through the embossing folder. I found this really secures the dots well to the background piece. I then cut off any overhang of the dots. Used a Martha Steward punch to cut the white edge along the bottom. Hello stamp from Hero Art done in Pale Pink versa ink and clear embossed. I stick a strip of the same colour card stock along the white strip to cover the top and help the piece 'fit' better. All attached to a white card base.
Embossed Leaves is one of my favorite sock patterns (from IK) and I used Cherry Tree Hill's solid Teal for these. They yarn has held up really, really well and I wear them quite often.
The drawers are all metal, embossed with Ansett Australia. We chose the metal ones over the plastic ones since they won't break. These pieces are in for the long haul! They're slightly noisy though ;)
New embossing folder. Added Wink of Stella over the leaves and swirls. Painted the berries and then added more Wink of Stella. Kaisercraft sentiment and some gems to finish
For a classic and understated look for your menu cover, bill presenter or guest room folder, embossing is a great choice. Check out this video explaining the method.

A pretty diary! The embossed flower is really amazing to look at and feel in person. It is very sparkly, which the camera didn't pick up. Thanks Barbara! I will be sure to use this soon.
