This week, we managed to have some outdoor time with Hiro. It has been raining almost everyday and we could not have more outdoor time. We took him on a fast photo shooting session outdoor. This is one angle of him that we had not taken any shot of previously. I just love how it turn out and will definitely try on more different angle of him. His color looks so good against the greenery. Hope you all like this week's shot.
Today would be the last day for you all to enter my 1000th Posts Celebration Giveaway! Good luck everyone! After this giveaway, there will be more fun surprises next week. Keep an eye for it.
This is just a simple technique that some of you might have tried it but I just want to share how cool it is to use it with Tim Holtz Alterations Embossing Folders. In the sample above, I've simply just use a Ten Seconds Studios black metal sheet and run it through a Big Shot with the embossing folder. Then, I've lightly use a sanding block and sand on top of the embossed images.
You can use this piece as a background on any of your project or cut it into smaller pieces to make some embellishment. Why not try it with hid die-cuts? I should give that a try in my next project. Try this and I'm sure you'll love it!
