I started with GP white embossed with the Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder for the base card. Stamped Brush Lily by Penny Black on pink cs with versamark and embossed with clear ep. Stamped the image on rose cs with white craft ink and embossed with white ep. Matted with pink and dp. Rounded some corners, stamped Wish in versamark and added a sheer white ribbon.
I want to do one with just the white craft and the white ep on rose cs-not split.
I have a question-what is the best way to keep from having embossing specks on your card? I have used cornstarch tied in a cloth and today used the Embossing Buddy and I still have stray embossed specks with the white ep.

I had the same problem with the specks from the white powder. No matter what I did today, I got specks. Since my other half was in black ep, I used the speckle sprayer thing and added specks of black to the other side...at least they look the same now :0) Love this card...beautiful flower image!

Very elegant Bev! I find that I get stray powder at times even if I use the embossing buddy. I think it depends on the humidity levels. I always keep a small paint brush handy to get off some of the stray powder where possible.

I like the two colors of embossing, I wasn't feeling brave enough for that one today! Great looking card, the embossing background really adds to the overall look.

Very beautiful...love that flower! Love this technique in pink! I find white ep the worst for static. I use the embossing buddy, a good snap, then I have a little paintbrush that I use to remove any strays that stick around.
