Keeping Off The Rain

Hello Nomad friend.  It's the 10th of the month so time for the new challenge at Let's Squash It!!  This month the theme is double emboss.  I did a Technique Time post the other day with some tips and ideas so do check that out.  Here's a card I made using one of the panels that I showed in that post.

I used a plaid embossing folder that came with Lisa Horton Inspired to Create issue 68 magazine.  

 
 
I inked the flatter side of the folder and embossed my off white card with Vintage Photo distress powder.  Made me think industrial....


I inked the edges of the panel and added it to a kraft card base.  I die cut Sizzix Umbrella Man and Creative Expressions chain from black card, and added some bronze flower sequins and half pearls.  



Thanks for dropping by.  Do hop over to the Let's Squash It! blog and check out Jo's fabulous make and join the fun this month.

    I always think the TH image makes such a great masculine card Gail, many thanks for joining in with our 'Embellish It' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.

    I saw your technique post the other day and I have never tried double emboss so hopefully will try it out and enter. This is a fab card and demonstrates the technique to great effect. Thanks for sharing with us at Allsorts challenge this week.

    Fab masculine make Gail, I bet it’s very tactile IRL with the Distress powder and the dry embossing.
