The Embossed Toilet Paper Adventure Continues - The Blockheads ETP Technique Challenge!

Created by: Leigh Snaith-Brunton ~ The Sharpie Domino Queen & Design Team Member Description: Here's 2 more fun projects using Blockheads' June Technique Challenge - Embossed Toilet Paper!  The 1st project is an elegant card with soft hues and would be suitable for a wedding, an anniversary and even a girl's graduation card!  But for me it's a wedding card and the use of the goddess is a fun alternative to an image of a bride! The 2nd project demonstrates my DominoART twist to the technique!  I added the ETP to a square domino to make a fun magnet! Blockheads Paper Arts Stamp Sets Used: Greco Roman and Verses full sheet. For step by step instructions for the card, please visit my full blog post on Leigh S-B Designs.  For the Square Domino magnet please check out my post on the DominoART blog.
