This card was made using today's Technique Challenge that Toy posted. The technique is called Embedded Image. Toy has given a perfect tutorial...so hop over to the challenge and check it out.
I am not an embossing powder stamper.....but that all changed today when I tried this technique. I love the finished look and can just image how wonderful this technique would look on cards, journals, etc. Thank you Toy for introducing me to a technique I will continue to use.
I distressed my image with Tim's distress ink color: Wild honey before I began embossing.
I was also thrilled when I found these Kolo photo corners I have hoarded for years. I think it gives the image a nice little touch.
I am very happy to learn this technique and to actually make a card that turned out okay.

Bev, this card is wonderful! You'll be embossing again soon, for sure! I love this set, and never think to use it. Thanks for the nudge!

Oh Bev, this is more than OK, it's beautiful. I love what you did. I never even thought of this set when I was looking for a stamp to use! Nicely done.
