Dry embossing

I think dry embossing is one of

my favourite techniques.

You can do it one of two

ways: with a template, a light

box and dry embossing tool

(a pain in the neck and arm) or

with an embossing folder and machine. 

 My preferred method.

 

Sorry the pictures aren't more clear.

I didn't realize it until I uploaded them

to the computer and was too lazy

to do it again!  But you get the

idea.

So...here is a card I almost completely

blatantly copied from pinterest! 

 

They had a sentiment, so I left that

out and added a vellum butterfly

instead.  I'm learning to

just make card fronts without

obsessing over having to have

a sentiment on the front.  I'm getting

better at it!

It's supposed to be warming up again

but for how long?  For however

long it is, I will enjoy it.  Of course,

I'd rather have summer, but I'll

take a little higher temps than we've

been having.
