Embedded Embossing


I knew I would just have to try this technique again.  Thought it would be a wonderful way to use up some our pre-punched shapes.  When the kids were much younger we would visit my Mum's and she would drag out most of her paper punches.....a lot in her collection.  We'd give the kids some paper and they would have a ball cutting out the shapes.  The shapes now sit in three containers like the one shown at the top of this photo waiting for the special day they are needed.

So I dragged out some SU Very Vanilla for the base card.  Cut free hand the vase from Bazzill Two Scoops.  Then sat and arranged the flowers until I like them.  The fiddliest part was then gluing all these pieces together and to the cardstock which needs to be done to get a good effect.  


Ta dah! after I have put the entire topper through my SU Lattice embossing folder.  I added some orange gems to the centre of a few flowers and added the gold sticker sentiment from Sticker Store.  The rest of the card is SU Marina Mist, SU Barely Banana and patterned paper from the Stampin Up Subtles pack.

This card would be perfect for our challenge over at Unstampabelles which is all about embossing this month.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
