Embossing

I made my first embossing project today! Its a very simple card. I used an ivory cardstock plain card. I then glued on a pretty green paper for a background. I used an ivory paper and rounded the corners then stamped on a decorative tree, sprinkled the embossing powder and heated. Now it looks wet and has a raised gloss which is so cool. The pictures don't do it justice. I also stamped a border to the ivory center. I used a thank you stamp and green ink and cut it out. I secured it with 3 dimensional tape and voila! I think it has a very nice vintage look. Its much easier than I had expected.
