Back to Basics

Hello.  Welcome.  There are a few challenges wanting embossing and I find myself thinking about beginnings.  I know a lot of us got into this crafting lark after grabbing a stamp, some ink and a piece of paper.  Add embossing powder and the ooh, wow factor is sure to hook you.  Then we move on to other things and our embossing powders get left on the shelf.  Now and again we reach for them and that first magic moment is resurrected. 



I stamped Flourish from the Sizzix/Hero Arts set on black paper and embossed with gold powder.  I cut using Simon Says Stamp Stitched rectangle die, added a thin black border and mounted on a gold card.  Oooh, now I see a mass of possibilities.  Maybe just a big bold sentiment.  Maybe just a small one.  Or maybe...

A gold embossed tiger and sentiment from Marks Finest Papers Tiger set.  A bit busy maybe, but then again tigers are supposed to blend into the background.  Hugz
