Embossing for Seize the Birthday

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Jenny wants us to use an embossing technique.
Whether it's dry with a folder, or wet with inks, powder or pastes. Sounds like lots of fun!

Or you can play along with our anything goes birthday option too.

Our party guest and my team mates have some great inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.

I have had this 3D embossing folder for ages and probably only used it once!
I thought I'd try the blackout technique with it, but instead of completely covering the card with ink, I just blackened around the debossed areas so the tools stood out more.

I used some designer paper from Craft Consortium, it held up well being embossed with the 3D folder.

I'm linking up to these challenges:
