Technique Twist - Inlaid Embossing

The current challenge at Technique Twist is Inlaid Embossing. This didn't quite turn out how I had intended. I've made quite a few cards with black on recently so there were lots of black snippets on my desk so I've used these and two Marianne dies to cut some leave which I glued around the edges. I wanted to use my embossing diffuser but the sandwich wouldn't go through as both the cream and black card were thick and I didn't want to break my Bug. Instead I've embossed the whole thing with a Cuttlebug folder from the Give A Hoot set. Of course, I was going to stamp directly onto the card but as I didn't use the diffuser, I've stamped onto some scrap card with Versafine (the stamp is by Inkyliscious). I've then cut it with Netsies and layered it onto another piece of black card

  7. This is a very chic card with the embossing and the B&W. Had to wonder if you've been channeling me, as I read through your embossing story. That sounds like the kind of thing I do, when I start creating. I did break my old Bug using an MBossibility folder the 1st time, and I don't like the newer Bug. The handle is too floppy. Managed to get an older Bug from a friend who had several. Your card is really pretty & thanks for the good background story! TFS & Hugs
