Dry Embossing Duo

CAS-ual Fridays is having a final challenge on their blog.  I have always enjoyed their challenges. So today I made two cards that fit the criteria of the last challenge.

This card used a watercolor panel that I dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Now to add the color to my image I rubbed the holly image inside the folder with distress ink. Then sprayed it with a light coat of water and ran it through my Cuttlebug with the watercolor paper. This left a beautiful crisp image. I trimmed and mounted it to a moss card. Then die cut four thanks from moss card stock and glued them together. Then glued to the card front. This looks so much prettier in person.

Simon Says Stamp just started carrying The Stamp Market stamps. This is a fairly new company that I have fallen in love with. The Wednesday challenge this week is Anything Goes. I used the Birthday Wishes set. The happy die is from SSS, die cut three times and glued together. White card base was dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder again sprayed with a light coat of water before embossing. This step really creates such a crisp image. Flowers and leaves were stamped, die cut and layered with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by, Sue.
