Trying to get back in the game.

I've been running on low fuel for quite a while now. You know, a funk of sorts. I figured if I make myself participate in a few challenges I might find my bright spot again. Not that I'm feeling all that terrible about anything. Just missing the point of most things.

So today, I went with today's challenge over at

Moxie Fab World: Cool Tools Week 

the Embossing/Debossing Challenge

There's dry embossing and heat embossing... this focuses on dry embossing.

I used an embossing folder from Quickutz (Rings) to

emboss white and red card stock, then die cut and layer them.

The pieces nest together quite nicely, kind of like

matching-up puzzle pieces.

The image and greeting are heat emobossed with black craft
ink and clear powder.

I used SU! dies for the frames - their new Label Collection.
I REALLY like them.

I stamped the image on textured card stock, this gave it a softer feel than
the actual image, which is clean and sharp. It's the latest hostess set available
from SU!'s new occasions mini catalog.

Here's to gettin' outta the funk...
