Today’s challenge at Creative Knockouts is to use embossing – so I did both types for my card. I used a digital stamp from Sheepski designs who unfortunately no longer is selling their designs – sad to see a creator close their business – but you can still follow their creativity at their blog.

Anyway I used the butterfly image that has the cogs and steampunk type design – so I created a background using the cogs stencil in my stash. After inking it I added clear embossing powder to it which gave it a fun texture.

I then took a separate piece of card and inked it with the same colours but heavier inking and ran it through an embossing folder with the letters. I then inked over the top of that to bring out the dimension and texture.

I coloured the image with stampin blend markers and then die cut it. I added two more die cuts behind it to stack it up and then lightly inked the edge.
I then used the die cut thank you that was already on my desk which is one of the dies that came with the spellbinders machine.
Simple and I think quite fun!
Happy crafting!
