To get us all back into the swing of things, we have a nice simple challenge for you this fortnight:
E is for Embossing
This can be either heat embossing, dry embossing with a stencil, or using a folder or texture plate in a die-cutting machine...or a combination of any of these.
For the embossing on my card, I used a couple of Cuttlebug folders on my card...'Lace Tree' and 'Snowflakes'...on various finishes of silver card...I love the way the embossing really stands out on metallics. I added a few adhesive gems in the corners, and also in a few places on the tree, but kept it really simple, as I wanted this card to be all about the embossing.
We have a lovely prize on offer for the winner of this challenge...one of the new Cuttlebug folders...'Moroccan Screen':
And don't forget...our challenges are now fortnightly...so you've got plenty of time to join in.
The rest of the design team have created some gorgeous cards...so make sure you stop by the ABC Challenge to check them out.
Gorgeous card Helen - I love the effect of embossing on mirri card and sheen card, it really makes it look glamorous and expensive. Love the little gems on your tree too! Squirrel xx
