Beautiful Borders

Are you ready for a challenge?  The Your Next Stamp Challenge is Beautiful Borders, include a fancy cut border on your creation.  I think this one is easy for most...borders, borders, borders. This one is not easy for me though as...I do not own many border punches!  Yes, I own a Cricut and I am sure I could have found something to use.  Instead, I decided to turn my scallop border into a fancy border by layering and embossing.  My goal was to create a lace like background.


The stamp is Shirley Temple Ellie from YNS and I used sketch #141 from Eat Sleep Stamp Sketchy Thursday.

Now if you would like to play along check out all the details on the Your Next Stamp Challenge Blog.  There are prizes to be won.  You are not required to use a YNS image, but who doesn't love seeing them?!!
Smiles,
Julie
Details:  Stamp - (Shirley Temple Ellie) YNS, Embossing - (Swiss Dots) Cuttlebug, CS - (White and Aqua Mist) PTI, Ink - Tuxedo Black) Momento, Copics, Ribbon Michael's.
