A Quick Thanks!

Today I have been playing around with embossing for the Lawnscaping Challenge #34:  Embossing.  I used a border die to do some embossing on the front and back of the card front to get two different looks.  I chose the border die because of the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger:  Mantastic:


As soon as I saw this awesome rug, I knew I would be using my Leafy Vine border die.  It was MADE for this challenge!  Between the two challenges, my card almost made itself.  ;)  Here it is:

Stamps: Think Big Favorites #15 (PTI)
Dies:  Leafy Border (PTI)
Inks:  VersaMark (Tsukineko)
Paper:  Dark Chocolate, Hawaiian Shores, Pure Poppy (PTI)
Misc:  White Embossing Powder (Hero Arts), Bling (Basic Grey)

    1. My stack goes something like: bottom hard plate, slim bottom plate, squishy embossing mat, cardstock, die, thin top plate. If that makes sense. It will depend on the machine you use though. If you google it, I'm sure there are tons of videos! ;)
