Embossing - heat or dry at Sparkles Christmas

Welcome to another month - and that means another new challenge at Sparkles Christmas. This time we would like to see some embossing on your work - heat or dry embossing, we don't mind.

In fact I've chosen to do both.


The poinsettias are stamped with a stamp from a recent issue of Creative Stamping, stamped with black ink and embossed with clear powder then coloured with Promarkers.
The background uses an embossing folder I was given, swiped over the "inny" side with green ink before passing through the Grand Calibur. It's quite a deeply etched folder so the white embossed areas really stand out well from the background.

I am sharing this with

I love this technique (although it's been a while since I used it last) it makes a wonderful backdrop to the poinsettias.
