Welcome to the June edition of The Flower Challenge! This month we are asking you to add heat or dry embossing to your floral cards - that should be really easy, right?
Here's one way you may not think of using dry embossing: using an embossing folder to emboss an 'all-over' texture to your floral stamping or like I did here to my stenciled floral pattern! I LOve the look of fabric this Burlap EF from HoneyBee adds to my Garden of Blooms stencil set from Alex Syberia Designs:
I think it adds so much to this nearly one-layer card!
I'll bet you'll be even more clever than I... speaking of clever - let's go see what my TFC teammates have created, shall we?
Thanks so much for stopping in!

The embossing adds so much to your stenciled blooms Michele, and it really does look like a piece of fabric! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Stunning !!! I love how you used the embossing folder it's so beautiful the texture is amazing .It really is a piece of art and should be framed. I'm off to by the folder if I can find it.Thanks for enabling once again.

Love the subtle texture from the burlap EF that gives your card a crêpe like appearance. SO pretty!
What a good idea, it looks so cool xx
Beautiful!!! I love this look too!!! Better get myself that embossing folder asap! Thanks for the enabling ;)
I love the look, too, Michele! Gorgeous stenciled flowers looking like a fine fabric print. Such pretty colors you used!
You have all over embossed stenciled card fronts before and they always make me stop and pick up my jaw, Michele! It gives a look of a beautiful handmade fabric! Just lovely!
This is fabulous, Michele! Love the colors, the flowers but you're right, the embossing folder adds so much overall interest
Totally gorgeous! Jo x
I love how this looks! The stenciled flowers are beautiful. Add the texture from the embossing folder and you've got a winner. I'm thinking I need this e.f. as well.
Gosh, I just love the texture you've given those beautiful blooms! Wouldn't this make some pretty throw pillows. This is simply fabulous, Michele!
What a wonderful idea, Michele. Love your card!
Oh my, this is fantastic. I love the embossing over the image. That fabric look is just one level higher. Love it.
I haven't used this technique before but you've certainly inspired me, Michele. The texture from that ef is amazing and I love the colors of the stenciled flowers. Gorgeous!
This is so gorgeous. I bought the EF and have yet to use it. I had better get it out!
So very beautiful! Love the texture your ef adds!
The embossing really does make the stenciled panel look like fabric, Michele.
