As You Like It Challenge

Well April went out with a chill and May so far has not been much better in my part of the world. At least I am cosy in my craft room.
As You Like It this fortnight are sponsored by



This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Patterned or Embossed Paper (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.


I love both and like to use what I think suits the card I am making.

I have used embossing for this card. I used to use a lightbox and painstakingly emboss the designs.  Now with embossing folders I can make beautiful intricate designs easily.
