Heat embossing with decorative mask/stencil...

While at the cottage I had a chance to peruse some crafting magazines and saw this cool technique.   Use a decorative mask/stencil, Versamark ink and embossing powder to create a unique background design.

It was one of those ....WOW... moments when I finished the card and thought "man, I love this card and how it turned out"!    

It looks so much better in real life.... my photography skills don't do it justice.

and a bonus video to see how the technique is done....

I used:

• "One Big Meaning" stamp set (w-138788,c-139420)
• Happy Patterns decorative mask (138313)
• Winter Wonderland Specialty DSP (139588)  - sneak peek from Holiday catalogue
• gold embossing powder
• Vellum cardstock (101856)
• Everyday Chic washi tape (138385)
• Metallic Sequin Assortment (138390)
• Basic Metal buttons - gold (133763)

Enjoy your day!
