Embossing (it's been a while)

My friend Kylie asked me to make a card for her friend or family, can't remember which and she said it was for a 25th anniversary so straight away I started thinking 'SILVER'. Well.....had to dust off the heat gun, haven't used it for a while, and get out my silver embossing powder. It reminded me of when (many many many years ago) I experienced my first WOW from embossing, how exciting that was. You just have to see it to believe it :) I have used the Always set with some 'Bling', grey taffeta ribbon, some brads and the sentiment is from Cheer and Wishes. I printed a 25 on my computer and attached it to a metal edged tag. I hope she likes it. Thanks for looking.

Upsy Daisy Embossed

Ok this is the last card for the night. I have to go to bed before the stroke of midnight and I turn into a 'pumpkin'. Once again following on from an inspiration on SCS, this card is using Urban Garden DSP again. I am really happy with this mainly cos I love pink and grey together but also cos it has some embossing. This technique was the 'WOW' that got me hooked on stamping and card making over 10 years ago. I don't do enough of it these days but it's nice to get back to basics every now and then. The In Colours these year are awesome too, it will be sad to see them disappear next year but at least we get an extra 6 months of them - YAY! My favourites are Pink Pirouette and Baja Breeze. Ok, now off to bed :(
