More Fun with Embossing Paste

Today's card was inspired by Just Add Ink Challenge #716. They had a pretty inspiration photo that drew me to pink flowers in a copper pot and a shappy chic textured background. I smeared embossing paste on to an embossing folder before running through my cut and emboss machine. Check back later this week to see another card using this technique.
