It is going to get BUMPY!!

Hello Stampers!

It is my honor to be a guest designer for www.stampingscrapping.com for October.  Each week I will feature a different technique with a Magnolia stamp.  

Week 2: Dry Embossing
Week 3: Sepia Tones or E-card or only using E copics to color image
Week 4: Flower Soft


This week is all about Embossing!  Dry embossing used to be a chore!  I can remember getting out the light box, stylus and a brass stencil.  We spent hours tracing designs onto paper, hoping that in the end you could see or at least feel the efforts.   Then in the early 2000's we were bitten by the bug; the Cuttlebug!

There is a strange satisfaction that can only be experienced by placing a piece of card stock into an embossing folder and running it through your favorite die cutting machine.  A mini celebration each time you take out your newly embossed card stock! 


Tilda with Pumpkin
This week, I challenge you to make a card using Tilda and embossing!  Check out the pumpkin I made.

I can't wait to see you create!  See you next week with a Tilda colored in Sepia Tones.
Hugs,
Chris
