DCM midweek: did we make an impression

The midweek dare was set by Sue, who did a great tutorial and showed some marvellous examples of dry embossing, including pergamano, which I just don't have the patience to do.

So my attempts have simply been done using Cuttlebug embossing folders.

On the first card I used the front of a Papermania card that had a pastel pattern of random circles on it. Having run this through my machine, I then inked the surface and added a stamped image of one of the flower foam stamps from QVC:



The second one is a gatefold card, similarly using an embossing folder and inking - the fairy etc are rub ons:



and this is the inside of the card, the card blank itself having an iridescent sheen:

    The top one is my favourite with the stamped image on top of the embossed card. Such a lovely idea to combine the two.
