Challenge #35 : Mission Possible

Your mission is to create a layout with the following :

1. Stamp

There's a bunch of STAMPS hidden somewhere in the deepest and darkest of your scrapping areas. They are being "stampnapped" by piles of other embellishments and patterned papers. The enemies knows that you're too lazy to clean up afterwards. So, that's their advantage. If you show some love by smothering them with ink and applying pressure as you use it. You will be able to get them back.

2. Emboss

Once you have taken back the stamps from the enemies, you have to quickly apply embossing powder. Then, dust off your heat guns to emboss the image.

3. Create

Create handmade flowers and embellish your layouts with it. You will be able to relax while you do this and get farther away from the head of the enemy --- mojolessness. (Seriously, this is addicting!)

Sample layouts

cardstock, pattern papper & brads for the handmade flowers, autumn leaves clear stamp, clear embossing powder & embossed glitter stickers

(Bazzill cs, Bo Bunny pp and stickers, Autumn Leaves swirl stamp, versamark, enchanted gold embossing powder, leaves from Maps (tnx!), stickles, gems)

(Stamped the frame and embossed it with gold powder, handmade the biggest rose then sprayed it with green mist and added red Distress Stickles on the edge)

This mission will self-destruct in 30 days. (July 30 11:59PM)
