I love the Bring on the Cake stamp set in the current SU Occasions mini but, quite sadly, I had to return it to my demo this week... It's a set that will be definitely be on my SAB order!!!
This card is for another of the challenges issued to me by my SU demo, Donna Wizniuk, for her Featured Stamper of the Month blog feature.
This challenge was: Masculine card.....this challenge will feature a technique, something fairly simple but has a WOW factor!
I chose to use a technique that I have seen several times and loved the way it looks. I've seen it called both "Inset" Embossing and "Inlaid" Embossing. Either way, it's both fun and easy to do and winds up looking rather cool.

Polka dots are so versatile. Change the colors and you have a kids' card or a feminine card. I like your colors and the rich texture of the embossing folder.
