Gwen, I have no idea how you come up with these ideas. Whatever you do don’t ever stop. I love the combination of stenciled deli papers, embossing powder, die cuts, and turkman jewelry. This is gorgeous.

I guess I have been watching Vikings too much. Your design makes me think of an adorned Viking shield, almost like a coat of arms. Blown away Gwen! What a magnificent use of the embossing powders with stencils.

thanks for the detailed instructions.
Embossing powder is fun to watch as it
melts - and it helps you know when
it is complete.
Love your piece.
thanks for sharing.
