Sketches with a Twist - September

Its Spring! but still a bit wintery here in the mornings!!
The new sketch has gone up on the SWAT - September and it looks great.. it looks like this..

and the twist for this month is to use embossing, either heat or dry embossing...

My layout looks like this...


and I ran the chipboard flourish through my big shot with an embossing folder and then patted it with an ink pad so the raised edge picked up the ink..

and a bit closer..


and there is a special prize this month too..
