Florals & Plants @ Tiddly Inks

This month at

we're all about florals & plants. Perfect for spring! You can see all the Tiddly floral & plant images right here (in case you don't have any to enter the challenge with).

It's funny, I loooooove flower cards. I really do. But, I almost never make cards using floral images. So I was glad this was the theme for the challenge this month because then I got to make this.....

.....and I do like how it turned out.....well, mostly.  (Before I get into the "well, mostly" part, let me just say that I used Grandma's Lilies....such a gorgeous digi, amirite?  Only $2.00!!)  See that embossed....or, more rightly, debossed (grrrrr), layer there?  Let me explain how that happened......

Scene:  Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Factory.  Two employees have just finished a run of Birds & Swirls embossing folders and are setting up the machine to do a run of Flowers & Pluses (not official name) embossing folders.

Employee # 1:  *yawns*  I'm bored.  You bored?
Employee # 2:  *gives Employee # 1 a look that conveys all the boredom ever but, not in a I-hate-my-job type of way because they quite like their job, they get treated well, get a good wage, and Taco Tuesdays at the cafeteria is something they always look forward to*
E1:  Let's shake things up.
E2:  *gives E1 a wary look because the last time they said, "let's shake things up" they were picking plastic out of their hair for a week*
E1:  *seeing E2's reluctance*  Just a little shake up, I promise.
E2:  Okay, what?
E1:  You know how we put the Cuttlebug logo on the front of the folders, and that way everyone knows which way to put the paper in?
E2:  Yeah.
E1:  Let's put it on the other side so that everyone who uses this folder will get a debossed image instead of an embossed image.  *snickering*
E2:  *shrugs*  So?  They'll flip the paper over.
E1:  But what if it's textured cardstock.  That won't work.
E2:  *shrugs again*  They'll just get a new sheet of paper.
E1:  C'mon.  I'll bet someone somewhere out there will end up p.o'ed if we do this.  *seeing E2's shrug-nod sets up machine to do just that*

As you can see, when I die cut that tag I purposely did so to leave a small bit of the image still on the uncut part.  So, when I used the embossing folder on that piece there was no way I could flip it over or just grab another sheet of paper.

Well played, E1 & E2.  Well played.
