VIDEO: Nature Neutrals Embossed Backgrounds

Hi, friends, Amber here! Vibrant colors are my jam, but nature provides some great neutrals too! Join me to create fabulous nature-inspired backgrounds.


Green is one of my favorite colors. So, I keep a few different shades of green WOW! Embossing Powders on hand. And you guessed it, they're perfect for our nature-themed Monthly Challenge on Facebook this month.

Back when I lived England I was a regular at the Leeds Festival and Download.

Is there anything you wished would come back into fashion? 
BUTTONS ON CARDS. I have soooo many buttons. Bring back the buttons!!


What song would you say best sums you up?
I Am The Fire by Halestorm - that song gives me chills - super inspirational and definitely one to kick my bum when I'm being self critical or feeling sorry for myself!
