AAA Cards - #90 Embossing

A new challenge starts today at AAA Cards and it's a really easy theme and one that I know you'll have no trouble in interpreting - Embossing.

http://aaacards.blogspot.com/2017/05/cas-game-90-embossing.html

For my card I've used two different embossing techniques: dry embossing with a folder for the main image and heat embossing for the greeting.



Once I'd run the card through my cuttlebug to dry emboss the words I then rubbed a Kaleidacolor ink pad over the top to highlight the embossing. The card was then cut down using a stitched square die and placed onto green cardstock leaving plenty of empty 'white' space around it.

I finished off the card with a white heat embossed sentiment and a trio of black enamel dots.

Supplies:
Embossing: Cuttlebug folder, Happy Birthday; Ranger superfine, white
Inks: Kaleidacolor, Caribbean Sea
Die: Lawn Fawn, large stitched square stackables
Card: SU, emerald envy
Embellishments: black pearls from my stash

    Jane you pulled this off beautifully! I get ink on all the wrong spots when I use this technique, but your bright colors are awesome. Thanks for the opportunity to guest design for this challenge!
