Our new challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Emboss It!
Apart from embossing a sentiment, it's a while since I did any Embossing, and even longer since I used my embossing folders. I have a few 3D folders which haven't been used in a long while, in fact I had to 'experiment' with different plates to get the right combination.
I've used a TH Poinsettia 3D folder which I first swiped with Iced Spruce DI before running through my machine. I coloured the flowers and leaves with some old metallic rub-ons and added gold glitter to the centres. The sentiment, which is an old Hero Arts wooden stamp was heat embossed using WOW Red Glitz powder. Layering up on red glitter card and gold mirri card. I always find using gold mirri card somehow alters the colours for a photo, this looks so much nicer in daylight than on here.
The rest of the Design Team have some great samples to inspire your, so please pop over to TioT's, where you will also find all the challenge details.
This makes a lovely Christmas card Avril.Those embossed poinsettias and the gold edging are really lovely. Happy new month to you. Since it's already September it won't be long until we're all thinking of Christmas cards. hugs-Erika

Love that TH embossing folder it certainly does make a beautiful Christmas card. I totally agree about the mirror card it reflects the light in ways we don't want it too but it does make things look so opulent..

Gorgeous card and EF. Taking photos of anything with shiny finish is a nightmare be it mirror card, glitter or mica sprays - they never look great on photos
