Embossed Embossing Monthly Challenge

Hello again-

Were you able to join in SweetStamps December's monthly challenge?

Every month we challenge you to think/create outside of your comfort zone. 

So if you want to learn new techniques this year, why not pay us a visit and give the challenges a try. 

With that all being said, let us move on to this month's challenge.

This months theme is:

Embossed Embossing

Isn't this lovely?!?

The background is created using the Embossed Embossing technique. 

You can see a video tutorial HERE.

For my background, I used Bazzill Basics Black cardstock and I embossed it with Craft Concepts: Ossie Dots embossing folder. I could not find my brayer, so I took my versamark embossing pen and colored all the dots.  I then covered the cardstock in white fine detail embossing powder, then heat embossed. 

That's it!!!  Easy right!!??

Here is a closer look at the background and the those gorgeous butterfly.

Well I really hope that you will give this challenge a go. It's a good practice to try something new, so let 2013 be the year for new techniques.  :)  Look forward to seeing your entry.  Don't forget you have a whole month to show us what you created.
