Wet and Dry Embossing

It's embossing week at Card A Day Blog and I used both wet and dry embossing on my card. 

On my cream cardstock I stamped and embossed the dress form in the center of the cardstock.  I then centered the dress form in the center of the embossing folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  I applied Evergreen bough distress ink over the raised surfaces and repeated with the Vintage Photo.  I lightly inked the inside of the frame where I stamped the dress form with Vintage Photo.  I wrapped a brown ribbon around the left side of the card.

I used the Lace Ribbon Border punch to punch a strip from the cream cardstock and used Evergreen bough to shade it.  I also inked the edges of the mat with Evergreen bough.

Going Batty

Today I'm the guest Designer at the Card A Day Blog and the theme this week is Cats and Bats.For my card today I am using this Pagemaps sketch.


I used Design Studio to design my card and instead of using tags I used the bat from Paper Dolls Dress Up.

I used mini pearls for all the bat eyes and inked all the bats and the card base. The kraft paper was embossed with the Argyle folder.


I used a strip of karft paper and one of pattern papers for the inside of my card. Thanks so much for stopping by and head on over the Card A Day blog for some great inspiration.
