Hello. Welcome. As I hope you know, I am very fortunate to be on the Rubber Dance Stamps Scandinavian design team. So for you, as a little reward for following my blog and being such wonderful supporters of my crafty endeavors, I have been given an exclusive code that you can use on any order this year. You will get a whopping 15% off your order at Rubber Dance by using gail2015. Easy peasy, go get you some bargain rubber. I have a link to the shop in my sidebar and I've added the code underneath so it's easy for you to find. Just don't forget to use the code and remember, Bibi offers very reasonable flat rate shipping worldwide. Are you still here?? Oh yes, the boos.........
I saw this card over at DRS and today, whilst hunting for black card, I saw these holographic scratch sheets and remembered I have that embossing folder. So I ran it through the bigshot and this is the result before I removed more of the black coating. It looks pretty cool already. Like Julie says the Sizzix folders do give a really deep emboss. In fact, I don't use any tabs going through the bigshot and there's less chance of splitting your card.
Just wanted to share my base card cos you don't get to see much of it in the final picture. I used an orange card and I stamped with the barbed wire stamp I made yesterday by cutting craft foam with Cheery Lynn's Barbed Wire die. I've also smudged my edges and beyond with black archival. Love this.
So, once I'd cleaned a bit more of the black off my embossed letters I added that panel to the base card. I used Cheery Lynn's Barbed Wire die again to cut well, barbed wire!! The skeleton is from TH Retro Halloween, stamped, embossed and fussy cut. I meant to give him a humerous speech bubble but wasn't sure he had a funny bone in his body. Bwahahahahahahaha. Sorry about that.

I am not a fan of Halloween, but I AM a fan of that embossed background panel!! I haven't seen any of that paper before and it looks fabulous once it has been embossed and "scratched" a bit. Thanks for playing with The House That Stamps Built.
