 Viva Decor is one of our wonderful sponsors this week and
I used their cool embossing cream in two different ways.

I used it straight out of the container with a stencil to make
the beautiful 3-D flourishes along the edges of the main panel.
I also used it on my tree branch.  I cut out the branch and
spread the cream on it.  When it was dry I painted it brown
to make it look like real tree bark.  Pretty cool, huh??

My flourish is from Cheery Lyn Designs.
The owl and branch are from Cornish Heritage Farms.
"Thank who" sentiment is from Woodware U.S.A. (thanks Nancy)
and the stencil is an oldie from Anna Griffin.
