Hello Nomad friends. It's the 10th of the month and time for a new Let's Squash It! challenge!!!! We have our December Empress Joanne helping us out with awesome inspiration for our Love and Red theme. You must use a love themed embossing folder, one with hearts, words of love, cupids. Does anyone have a cupid embossing folder???? You must also use the colour Red and/or Pink. Here's a card I made using two Sizzix border folders; Hearts and Forever & Always.
I started by embossing the top and the bottom of a red card panel with the Hearts border embossing folders. Then I placed the Always & Forever folder in the middle and embossed that. I know, I should have done the one in the middle first!! I thought the edges of the words folder might flatten my hearts, but luckily it didn't. And my positioning isn't bad. But I will do the middle first next time!! Or at least second LOL. I smeared the embossed areas with Cactus Flower pink ink for a tone on tone look. I actually think this would have been fine as a card, just mount it on a base and done!

Fab combination of folders, great jo on not squishing the first lot of embossing with the second folder! I think I’m tending towards no lace but it’s a close call, looks great either way.
Love this! There's a touch of Victoriana about this card and no mistake, Jo x
Love the rich red embossed with the hearts and sentiment, Gail - the lace adds the perfect touch!!
Lovely card Gail, I love the rich red colour you've used. xx
Fabulous card Gail, you did very well not to get lines when embossing two EF... the added lace does give it a vintage look with the script of the embossed sentiment... so let's use our stashes of lace and ribbon too, hugs Robyn
OH this is awesome Gail! I hope I get time to join in the fun ... will have to look into my EFs to be sure I have one that qualifies.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Valentine LOVE’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

I am loving that lace!! Such a romantic feel to this card.
I'm on-board with adding the lace. It gives this some beautiful contrast to those pretty embossed hearts and sentiment! Great card!
The embossing along with the lace makes this card a real stunner. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Double D Challenge Blog. We hope you will join us for future challenges.
