The embossing folder I used is by Lisa Horton called 'Blooming Peony' and gives a lovely 3d effect.
The Patina wax is called Copper Pot and when I pulled my cardstock out to see what I could use these 2 sheets by Tonic Studios went perfectly with it. The Love sentiment is by Britannia dies. I have kept the design simple so as not to detract from the Peony which I raised up with several layers of small white squares attached beneath it. Hearts are a small Woodware punch.

Not heard of that technique Mrs A but it looks amazing! Gorgeous detailed flower, Cathy x
Sometimes an accident can end in an even better result and this is one of them. Gorgeous flower. Thanks for the lovely comment over at mine too, the napkins you liked were from Morrisons and they have several designs available. Happy crafting, Angela xXx
umm, teacher! (I'm waving my hand in the back row hoping to have my question answered...)
Did you have to use a special kind of toilet paper for the layering, or does any brand work?
I loved using TP for years with rubber stamps, but never thought to use them in EFs! ValeryAnne, thanks for the tip. I especially like that you cut it from the rest of the embossing and featured your peony like this. It's lovely!
hugs,
