I decided to see how many ways I could emboss on this card. I heat embossed the Hero Arts Collage background in white on The Paper Company Cucumber Metallic cs, then I dry embossed it with its matching Sizzix Collage Background embossing folder. The panel was cut out using SSS Stitched rectangles that left an embossed stitching around the border. Mojito ink from Wplus9 was blended on the cardstock to bring out the images a bit more. I heat embossed the butterfly portion of HA Collage Background in white on vellum and cut it out. I dry embossed a back panel using a Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder on white cs. Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment from PTI's Out on a Limb. The sequins are from PTI's Shakers + Sprinkles, and the beads are from Hobby Lobby.
Here are the fun and fantastic challenges that inspired me:
