Hi everyone!
It’s that time again – AAA Cards challenge is back and this time the theme is embossing!  Stampendous are kindly giving the winner $20 to spend with them!
For my card this week I dry embossed a Spellbinders nestabilities die onto Simon Says Stamp Smoke Cardstock using tab 1 and the die embossing sandwich.  (Mine needed a card shim and some tinkering!)

I then used my MISTI to stamp the largest stamp from the awesome WPLUS9 Watercolor Anemones stamp set in Memento Luxe (pigment) ink in Elderberry. I stamped it two or three times to get a good impression.  I cleaned the stamp, and leaving it where it was on the MISTI, I added Delicata Golden Glitz ink to the edges of the stamp and in some spots and stamped again.  Instant golden highlights!!!  I actually liked the effect from where the stamp didn’t stamp over the embossing.
I then added a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp’s ‘Handwritten Sentiments’ embossed in Hero Arts white powder, and added a few enamel dots and Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins to finish.  
I hope you liked the card, remember, there are all sorts of types of embossing.  Can’t wait to see what you come up with!!
Jenny

  1. SO pretty Jenny! When I saw it the first time, I was wondering how you got the gold highlights (love them!!!) so thanks for sharing the technique – I am definitely going to give it a go (good thing I have a MISTI because I never would be able to line up my stamps otherwise!). The embossed frame is wonderful – it is the perfect subtle backdrop for your gorgeous flower!
