Crafts 4 Eternity - Technique Recipe

Hi ya, hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, just started back to crafting today and enjoying lazy days, I've had a crafty pj day, its been bliss.  Over at Crafts 4 Eternity the challenge is embossing, so I decided to go embossing mad and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I felt a bit lost at first as I'm so used to doing xmas cards that I hadn't got a clue how to start so I decided to take inspiration from my new stash (see post here) and made a bright card to brighten the day seems its windy and rainy lol.

The windmill took 4 times to get right, trying different cards that I used but ended up trying to find a co-ordinating patterned paper as the card was to think lol.  I had a great time doing this card with lots of yummy colours and textured.  Thanks Kezzy xxx
