3 - 2 - 1 at Less is More

Here is an embossed panel made with 3 different Embossing powders over a Hero Arts background stamp.
There are 2 framed squares and 1 Memory Box diecut flower. There are also 3 gems. 
I decided to use this particular die as it seemed to match the background well. It matches so well that you can hardly tell the difference between the two!
Here we have a 3 word sentiment, 2 hand prints and one ribbon.
We're all in the pink this week it seems
.Here is another piece of that 3 powder background embossing, with 2 squares and 1 butterfly (which also has three pearls embellishing it).
I apologise for the cyclostyled comments last week, but I was on a cruise on the Queen Victoria to Norway, where Internet coverage was a little spasmodic... but what a wonderful week!

  11. I loved all the cards - 2 questions: How do you do 3 powder embossing? and What company made the heart embossing on the baby card?

    Also, everyone needs a vacation! No need to apolgize for that! Hope you had a great time.
