My embossing is a cuttlebug folder called birds and swirls for the backing and I have also stamped and embossed the flowers then cut and coloured the back with my pens. These are parchment with pearl centres. The images has been cut  with a spellbinders die. Lace from stash and some lovely bling swirls.
