Hi Guys,
Today I am showing you yet another way to Dry Emboss. I made this card because a friend of mine asked me to make some thank you cards for her mom, and the only specification was that her mom LOVES purple. So, this is what I came up with. Those of you who were at Xander's 1st birthday might recognize the design, I used the same one for his thank you cards (with different colours and a different dry emboss texture).
The dry embossing for this card was done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and run through my Big Shot. The flower is from the Sizzix Sizzlets "Birds and Blooms" dies that I also ran through my Big Shot. For the sentiment, I stamped it in Versamark and then used my clear embossing power to Heat Emboss it.
Heat Embossing is a different embossing technique where you stamp your image in an embossing ink (Versamark, Top Boss etc) and then you cover the stamped image in embossing power. You then require a heat tool to heat up the embossing powder so that it takes on a hard, shiny surface. It's a really professional looking technique.
I really like how these cards turned out. I love the lacy look of the Whisper white layer. I hope my friend really likes the cards, and I hope her mom does too!
