Embossing challenge!

Happy Tuesday!  I've been anxious to join in on this week's embossing challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.  Find them at http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/ and get in on the fun!  I use several embossing folders in my cardmaking, but I thought I would try something different and do a heat-embossed image.  I bought a stamp last year that I haven't had much opportunity to use, a walleye fish by Fred B. Mullett (!).  I thought it would be a nice stamp for making a card that would appeal to men, but I glammed it up a little with Recollections' glitter embossing powder.  Then I scored the paper for a little more dimension (with my new scoring board from Martha Stewart Crafts), and backed it with navy blue paper.  I'm still not too good at getting a satisfactory picture, but practice, practice, practice!




I hope you all have a great week.  Thanks for stopping by!

    Love that embossed fish! So shimmery! And I love my Martha Stewart score board too. It gets a ton of use in my craftroom. Thanks for playing along with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
