Using Dies to Emboss

Playing around with my dies to create embossed frames on these two card 

It's 'E' for embossing at Darnell's IDEAS prompt     and

at Group of Cardamkers the technique is 'Embossing with Dies'

- the first is actually a die frame with a matching die to cut out the center... I trimmed the card and punch rounded the corners.. Used a die to cut my flowers and water coloured them with Distress Inks, cut the stems from green card that matched the patterned paper background... finished off the card with a blank stamped and clear embossed sentiment  (haven't done that for a while, I remember when everything was embossed)

For my Christmas card I used two fancy edge large dies to create the frame and added some die cuts --- Cut the sentiment from matt metallic card and the outline of the bauble in white and the inlaid parts from purple and red glitter card

Thanks for stopping by my blog, have a wonderful day
