A bit of embossing

Hellooooo!   So much for my plans to get the garden sorted and have more crafty time this summer.  I just don't know where the holidays have gone and we've now been back at school for nearly 2 weeks!  It's true that I made a start on quite a few cards...

Thankfully, this was one I did manage to finish in the summer!  This week over at Sweet Stampin' our challenge theme is Embossing (any kind). Everyone seems to be doing the white embossing thing so I decided to give it a go myself. 

I wasn't brave enough to go for one layer, so I used a couple of different types of kraft card for my base, mat and image.  I find it much easier to colour kraft card that's got a bit of tooth to it, but I discovered that it's a wee bit more difficult to get all the little bits of stray embossing power off your card!  Still, I'm not too bothered by the little flecks of white as there are pollen-type circles on the image anyway.

The image is by Stampin' Bella and I love it!  I coloured it with my Prismas but it looked really nice without any colour at all.  I think you'll be seeing this from me again.

Do grab a cuppa and hop over to Sweet Stampin' to check out the challenge deets and the fabulous inspiration cards my lovely talented teamie pals have made.  Our sponsor is Hobbycutz who have a £7.50 voucher for the online store up for grabs.

Hope you can play along!
