Serendipity

 Here is another topper from my sheet of watercolour paper started yesterday. I was looking through some of the pots of embossing powder and found one called pineapple that looked like a pale gold. I tried embossing the pine branch image (Elusive images) but it just disappeared into the background. I wish embossing powders all stated whether they are opaque or not, lol! Anyway, before deciding it was a disaster I gave it a quick rub over with my cut and dry that I'd used for the edges with a bit of walnut stain. I'm pretty pleased with the result!
I added some ribbon, lace and a charm so I could enter it into this week's Allsorts challenge, where the theme is a recipe(all of the above!) and mounted the lot onto a card distressed and stamped with Antique linen and Tea dye distress inks. The charm was originally silver until I coloured it with a pumpkin promarker to make it match!
This week's Allsorts is sponsored by Sir Stampalot and there are a couple of stamps as prizes. Thanks for looking!

See how beautifully it turned out! I haven't embossed for a very long time, but after seeing this I feel tempted to do it again!

Hi Sally

It's gorgeous.

Funny how sometimes you can achieve super results just from experimenting.

Well saved, Sally. I love the colours you've used to make you cones stand out. I'd have just put it all in the bin in disgust!!! I need more patience I think but agree about the EP. I've done the same thing so many times!!!
Your little charm is gorgeous.
Hugs Lisax
