Christmas Card Throwdown Embossing...


A while ago I purchased the Hero Arts “Graphic Snowflakes Bold Prints” background stamp and never used it until now!
The base card is white card stock with a layer of gold card stock.
The main piece is white card stock that I die cut with a die from Stampin’ Up’s “Delightful Decorations” set.
Next on more white card stock I stamped the image from the background stamped using Versamark ink and heat embossing it with clear embossing powder.
Once cool I rubbed Tim Holtz Distress Stain candied apple over the whole piece then wiped it with a towel.
This I glued under the ornament piece and applied them both to the card front.
The tree branch was made with gold card stock and a Martha Stewart branch punch by punching many and gluing only the center to the card.
To finish I die cut the sentiment from gold card stock using Sunny Studios “”Greetings” word die and glued it to the front.

 How will you emboss your card for this challenge?
