Encouragement with a smile

Today was a fun day - two friends came over with their die cuts and embossing folders - we had a chance to share materials and techniques.  Now I have some new embossed pieces to try out!

The image & sentiment are by JustRite, with Fiskars blue ink.  I used Spellbinders dies for the circles, and a Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder.  I added brads, a shapeability butterfly, and some Petaloo flowers with rhinestone centers added.
