Friends Are Like Seashells

Ah ha - I've found another new-to-me challenge!  Today I'm at Addicted to CAS #188, and we get to emboss for this one!  I always find clean and simple to be a challenge - let's see how I do fitting in embossing, too, lol.
I decided to stick with heat embossing, so I could create one focal image.  Friends Are Like Seashells is burning up my desk, lol, so I had to pull it out!  I really wanted to use the gorgeous new embossing folder that goes with this suite, but I was worried it was too much of an all-over design, so I picked one shell to emboss in gold - so pretty!  There are color wash stamps for behind most of the elaborate shells, and I couldn't resist a few Opal Rounds to touch things up.  I even did my stamping on our new Pearlescent Specialty Paper - it has such a beautiful sheen!
