NOTICE: It looks like we’re having a bit of trouble with our InLinkz Link-up on our blog. It seems to have a mind of its own and disappeared from the side-bar. However, it found a home on the first day of March here. The DT are trying to put it back where it came from, but until you see it in the usual place on the top right side, you’ll be able to enter here.

Hello everyone, Martha Lucia here to share with you a card that I made using two different kinds of embossing. I am the fan number one of the embossing techniques and today I am sharing the most simple and easy ways to make this. The first is dry embossing and the second is heat embossing.

The base and the second layer of my card is Whisper White and I used an embossing folder to make the dry embossing. This process is always the most simple and always create a good look in all your creations. It add a sophistication touch to your paper and can change completely how your project looks. You only need to pass your paper through your big shot or any other machine with the correct sandwich and voila, an amazing piece of paper is in your hands.

For the green piece I used Celebrate Tag Stamp & Cut from Lia Griffith to create my special design. I take a piece of Cucumber Crush card stock, I cut the die cut and I stamped the sentiment using VersaMark and White Embossing Powder on the center, I melted with the heat tool and decorated the upper part with a few loops of baker’s twine purple. Finally I pasted the entire piece using dimensionals.

I hope I’ve inspired you to enter this month’s challenge:  Embossing.  Find all the details here, and link up here.
