Hello Nomad friends. It's the 10th of the month so time for the start of the Let's Squash It! challenge, and it's Friday, so that makes it perfect!!!! This month we are all about sanding your embossed texture, but hold on there!! We also want to see you using an embossing folder that includes numbers and/or letters. Just a little twist to keep it interesting........ I did a Technique Time post a couple of days ago exploring different techniques and had a fun time generating some cool backgrounds. This wasn't the one I thought to use today, but the moose jumped on it and claimed it for his own.......
If you are trying to work out if the background has anything to do with Christmas then sorry, I must sadly disappoint you! I brayered some white card with Colourcraft pink Aztec paint, embossed with Cuttlebug Qwerty embossing folder and sanded to expose the white. Aztec paints are pearlescent so this has a lovely shimmer. I have a couple of big moose stamps but decided this guy in his scarf and legwarmers was da bomb on this background. I borrowed the sentiment from a Woodware stamp set. This moose is Eureka Elg with Scarf. I added a little Promarker colour and a little glitter glue sparkle to his hat.
Thanks for dropping by. Do hop over and check out the lovely inspiration from Jo and our guest designer and hope you feel like getting squashy with us. Hugz

Great use of the fun sanded background Gail, the moose looks perfect on there - not surprised he claimed it as his own!
