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:
Dragonfly Dreams, Happy Birthday
Supplies:
Memory Box EF1019 3D folder; Craft Consortium retro summer paper pad; Versafine clair nocturne ink; Creative Expressions sentiment die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week,

What a great idea to use a piece of Craft Consortium dp to emboss on to Cathy, and I love the added black around the debossed tools which highlights them perfectly, and finished with th white on black die cut birthday sentiment which stands out so well over the top.. a lovely card. x
Fantastic masculine card! I love the colours and grungy effect you've achieved with this technique:)

Cathy, what a great embossed card for the men in our lives. Great card. Have a great weekend.
Your card looks amazing Cathy and how cool is that embossing folder with all the tools! I love how you have coloured it too xx
That embossed background is really looking good. The pattern paper you've picked is just perfect for the technique, and the partial black makes it look wonderfully distressed. The card's looking amazing, Cathy!
What a fabulous embossing folder for a male card - I've not seen that one before. Love your technique for this background - and that sentiment just pops. Thanks for sharing with us at The Male Room
A wonderful masculine card, Cathy. I love those bits of black that make the tools pop! Great idea!
I love the colours and the EF is great. Any male would enjoy this card.
What a perfect masculine card with the black background! I love the fun colors and texture.
Brilliant card for a DIY-er, Cathy! (No good for my hubby then 😆). I love how the black makes all the embossed shapes pop.
Great masculine card Cathy. Love how you used this technique around the tools.
This is such a great card - the way you blackened around the debossed areas looks really cool. Fun colour combo too.
Beautiful masculine card. Thanks for sharing at The Male Room
