The Let's Squash it Blog has a challenge to double emboss on your card, I am sharing a background that a fellow cardmaker sent me that was dry embossed with a snowflake embossing folder onto a Silver metallic cardstock and she also used some alcohol inks on it. I decided to take that piece and add some embossing ink all over the background and heat emboss using Rainbow sparkle embossing powder. I die cut and punched some purple snowflakes to go with the background added some gems and it was done!
- Embossed background from friend, I added Ranger rainbow sparkle embossing powder to the whole background
- Martha Stewart - snowflake punches
- Gemini - Frost Christmas dies for large snowflake
- Simon Says stamps - tiny words Christmas
- Gems
- Spectrum sparkle pen on snowflakes
In my stamp group our Christmas challenge for this month was to do heat embossing on our cards, so since I also had time to make another card, I took an old background I had made and stamped a house with white embossing powder and cut it out with a die.
- Embossing Arts co. - Victorian Holiday House stamp, embossed with white embossing powder
- Background from my stash
- PPD - Distressed Edge Rectangle die
That is it for today but I have more Christmas to come.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,
Connie

That first card is incredible. The BG is amazing and the addition of the purple snowflakes is wonderful.
The second card is very eye catching. I love blue and white cards and that die cut is amazing too.
Beautiful background, bet it shimmers and shines! Another fabulous white heat embossed scene--I think they look so great!
So gorgeous. I love the texture appearance on the purple card. The white embossing is so elegant.
