Cooking It Up #33 - Emboss a Sticky Leaf!

It's another recipe over at Cooking It Up With Katie and this week we don't have a sponsor so the team got to play with images from whomever they liked!

The ingredients are:

Use a Leaf (punch, image, pattern, anything with a leaf)
Add some Embossing (heat or dry)
Finish with a Sticker

I colored two of the images and cut the flower top out on the second and popped it up on top.
I love how the metallic paper looks when it is embossed, it's my new favorite technique so I'm sure you'll see more of it on my blog soon.
We'd love to see you over at Cooking It Up With Katie to play along with us.
