This week at Shopping our Stash we're challenging you to use wet or dry embossing in your creations - I decided to use my trusty Cuttlebug & one of my favourite folders, and the last full piece of paper in a K&Co pad. After embossing, I used a sponge to rub distress ink over the raised sections to make them stand out more. I didn't want to cover up the embossing too much, since I love how it looks over the subtle paper pattern, so I pulled out a butterfly die & made a wobbler:

| Supplies: butterfly & patterned paper from K&Co; embossing folder from Cuttlebug; Old Paper distress ink; sentiment stickers from Doodlebug |
If you don't have jewelry wire in your stash, check your ribbon stash - the wire I've used here is from the edge of a wired ribbon.

The sponging on the beautiful embossed background really makes the pattern pop. Genius way to pop up the butterfly!

I agree with Amy...so clever...this is so pretty

Gorgeous! I have never tried one of these springy things but now I NEED to. Too cool!
Beautiful embossing folder and colors and I'm in total love with the way you did the butterfly! I'll have to try that now.

Such a sweet card! Love that it's a wobbler....how fun! :)
Love the idea of the moving butterfly, Jessi!
So pretty! Don't you just love being able to improvise and make your own tools and supplies sometimes! :)
Lovely card!! I love the height of the butterfly! It's great on that kind of background, really pops!!

Oh, an action wobbler... I must try this myself (I had all good intentions when I bought some jewellery wire a few months ago but alas have not yet found the time) Thanks for the little push! ps love your card!
