Less is More#15 - Embossing

Good Morning Everyone ,

Well this week at LIM it is the turn of the One Layer card again and whilst I'm getting used to its limitations , this week is embossing as well ........ eeek !
That unforgiving technique that leaves fine particles all over your card where they're not wanted , despite using an anti-static bag , and then the heat gun warps your card beyond recognition .
I know we can use dry embossing as well this week but I decided to face my demons and embraced the challenge , and after a few mishaps and rethinks , came up with this card

The stamp is by Studio g and I only bought it last week  because I loved the simplicity of the image . I used black pigment ink and then black disco embossing powder to give it a bit of sparkle .
The sentiment is also a Studio g stamp I've had for a while and this was positioned using my lego stamp positioner and again embossed in black disco powder .
To ground the image I decided to draw a line from each side of the image to the edge of the card , I then used a Quickie glue pen over the black line so I could emboss with the same sparkly powder .
A touch of stickles to the bodice , a blue gel pen for the waist band and then let the card straighten up over night .

I think the little stamp is great for making your own wedding stationary too and great for Clean and Simple designs ..... well worth the £1.25 it cost :)

I have to say that since starting this blog and entering challenges I have a lovely stock of cards growing which are all ready to use and a feeling of belonging to a growing inspirational community of fellow crafters . 
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and taking the time to call in and visit my blog X
