To make the background I swiped an embossing folder (also a Tim Holtz one, pure coincidence) with black Versafine ink and embossed it then immediately covered it in clear embossing powder and heated it, so the "inny" bits are nice and shiny. Not that you can see it on the photo, of course!

What a clever card! I am so glad you shared your technique as I find it very inspiring. I have not tried embossing with an embossing folder, but it really makes sense. And I love your city-scape skyline. You've made a masculine card that I would love to receive myself. Nicely done! Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday!
Stunning card, Jane! Perfect combination of elements, Jo x
This is really effective. Love Dawn x
Now thats a nifty idea and looks most effective. Hugs Mrs A.
What a beautiful card featuring the fabulous London skyline, love the embossed, both ways, background, I've heard of inking the embossing folder but I've never heat embossed the panel right after, what a great idea.
Thank you for sharing with us at RETRO RUBBER, hope you join us next time.

This is lovely, Jane! The way you've not only 'stamp-bossed' the background but then heat embossed it as well is stunning. The cityscape, on a jaunty angle, really draws the eye to it. Great stamp set, too! Thank you for joining us again at Retro Rubber Challenge.
This is gorgeous Jane!! I love the background and how you created it is new to me, totally going to try that. I love that image of my Hometown, I have it and use it a lot! Thanks for joining us again at Retro Rubber. Claire DT
Amazing job with the Black and White challenge. Love putting ink on my embossing folder too, just not so much fun to clean up sometimes! Stunning card! Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber!
