"Shelly Shelly bo belly, banana fana fo felly, me my mo Melly - SHELLY!"
OH don't mind me, I got just a wee bit caught up in the Name Game song of my childhood! But that is NOT what Altenew wanted to read/hear/see when they announced their Alphabet Name Game with their wonderful Altenew Educators! Erum wants us to use the first initial of our names and find a technique that starts with that letter!
M stands for Mat - as used to bring focus to a photo or framed art piece?
Perhaps this will help:
That Altenew 3D poinsettia embossing really did deserve some
extra attention - so I created my mat with one of their Rounded Rectangle dies. Hey, why cover it up? I instead used their Fine Alphabet dies to create a sentiment that one can see through!
Okay. Ready. set.... GO PLAY!!!

ReplyDeleteOMGee, that embossed panel! Your usual clever take on a challenge, Michele!
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful, that embossing so so clean and crisp, enhanced by the lovely frame and gorgeous pop of red. Were you tempted to colour the berries red too. I think I would have been, but I am glad you didn't xx
ReplyDeleteYour matting shows off the gorgeous 3D embossed poinsettia wonderfully, Michele! It looks like plaster wall art! The red die-cut negative strip draws your eye to the center without covering up the beautiful flowers. Amazing work!
