Another Saturday, another challenge over at Sweet Stampin'. And this week our theme is Emboss it.
You can heat emboss, or dry emboss, it's up to you. I chose to heat emboss, and my Vintage Photo Distress embossing powder had just arrived and was sitting on my desk begging to be used.
So I inked up a background, and heat embossed a LOTV steampunk background stamp I've had since I started stamping and never gotten 'round to using. (Hey look, more NBUS!)
I added a few more TH goodies, et voila:
It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but the embossed background looks really rusty in person. I loooove the effect!
Now my fellow Sweeties have made some fabulous cards, so I hope you'll go and take a peek, and maybe come and join us with an embossed project yourself? Just don't forget to stamp!
Have a fantastic weekend!

The background has a lovely patina, so I will have to look out for some of this EP...I don't do a lot of TH stuff, so don't always know what the products will do. This looks great with your gentlemen...so vintage and I like the rustic look of the sentiment treatment too. TFS & Happy Sunday.
A wonderful project and the embossing looks great; what a lovely colour and textured backdrop for your vintage image :-)
Big hugs, Kat xx
