Wishing everyone out there in blogland a very happy and chocolatey Easter.

Bah Humbug this week the challenge is embossing and after a little pondering about which type of embossing I could do the following card is what I came up with.
I fished out an old snowflake stencil and placed this onto some black mirri card. I then took some Dreamweaver glossy white embossing paste and spread this over the stencil. After lifting the stencil carefully off the mirri card I sprinkled each snowflake with differend coloured Glamour Dust and left to dry. The main card is an A5 white blank. I ran a piece of gunmetal mirri card through my Big Shot in a Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder and then did the same with some black card. These two pieces were joined together. I then took a piece of each of these cards, cut them to size and punched the edges with a Martha Steward border punch. These were joined together and placed down the centre of the card. Each of the snowflakes were cut out using a Stampin Up circle punch and mounted onto gunmetal and black mirri card which had been die cut with a Nellies die. The sentiment is computer generated.
Being as it's Easter I decided to do another card to enter into the challenge and this one is a piece of parchment embossed using an embossing stencil, coloured from behind with gems added onto the tree and down the left hand side. A ribbon and peel off greeting finished off the card.
Thanks for looking.
The image has been coloured with Promarkers and cut out. Backing paper is from Papermania Classic Christmas pad. Nesties were used for the mats in red and green and edged with gold marker pen. Ribbon is from my stash as are the roses and poinsettia flower. I used a narrow border in red cut from a Martha Stewart edger punch. The sentiment is a digistamp from the lovely Lynne at Sentiments4You and punched out and layered using Stampin Up punches.
