Love how you embossed your heart. So pretty
wow gorgeous!! love it
I can’t stop staring at that heart–it’s so pretty!
Such ingenious ways and good use of dies, i.e.; using as embossing plates! I love that technique and will be using it in my cards as well as holding demos on that technique where I work. It’s such a cool process and really gives you double the pleasure with the fun of processing the technique and the enjoyment of the beauty of the end result.
Really nice card!
Awesome card! Love all the dies & the bright pink is soooo pretty!
Another beautiful card!! Love the background and the large heart as the focal point!
The sequins are a wonderful touch! Thanks so much!! 🙂
Thank you for sharing your techniques so viewers can try them out at home!
Great possibIlities in this set! I like using dies as embossing tools too. I like all the textures you have incorporated.
love the texture in the heart
Really pretty!! Love it!!
I will have to try embossing by using a die. This is a cute card.
I haven’t tried embossing with Memory Box yet, I will definitely have to try some of your techniques.
The embossed heart is awesome!
