I was very inspired by Chrissie's first inspiration card with the triple embossing - deep embossing is a technique I've been meaning to try but have always been a little scared by - so I decided to take the bull by the horns and give it a go - this is the resulting card.
I die cut a piece of soft metal sheet with a Marianne D swirl - I ran it through my machine several times but it wouldn't cut through fully so I ran round the outline with a craft knife to loosen it from the sheet. The heart is a wooden shape which I coated in UTEE, 2 coats of silver ep, and then I added a touch of copper ep to the edges. I stamped a lace stamp across the middle to add texture but found it left it a little dull, so I used a silver rubbing cream over the lace to bring back the shine. Simply mounted onto black glitter paper with a silver matt onto a black base - I love black and metalics.
I'm really glad I tried this technique - its not nearly as scary as I thought it was!
I'll be doing the rounds to see what else everyone has come up with this evening.
