SIP Challenge #76 - Embossing!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday if you're from the States.  I had 5 glorious days off!  It was so wonderful and a much needed restful Holiday.   Well back to the matter at hand.... since it is Tuesday, I'm back over at Stamp, Ink, Paper with my take on a new Challenge.  This is all about embossing.. either heat embossing or dry embossing.  I love them both but I chose heat embossing this time.  

Here's my card showcasing a two fabulous stamp sets from Gina K Designs called Festive Foliage and Music Background Stamp. These are truly awesome sets!

I used Gina K Heavy Base Weight Ivory for my A2 cardbase.  My stamped layer was Gina K layering weight Ivory cut to 5 x 3 3/4".  I stamped the Musical background stamp onto the layering weight Ivory with Stampin' Up! Crumb Cake Ink.  After stamping it, I sponged the edges with more Crumb Cake Ink.  I heat embossed the Pine Images and the sentiment from the Festive Foliage Set with Gold Embossing Powder.  After heat embossing, I layered the stamped layer onto a 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" piece of Stampin' Up! Soft Suede Cardstock.  I ran some Natural Twine around the layered pieces a few times and attached a Twine Bow to it.  The layers were attached to the card base with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
