This is for today's inspiration challenge which was to be from the Acacia catalog, which I am unfamiliar with. Fortunately, we were graciously provided three sample photos of items from the catalog. I chose the first photo to work from, which was an item that had embossed, aged items. I think it was a piece of wall decor.
I was inspired to try metal embossing again using the cutlebug swirls folder. The metal on my card came from a soda can that was cut with my rotary cutter and embossed with the Bug.
The image I used belongs to a friend and I don't know who the manufacturer is. I just love these skating reindeer and the swirls in the ice reminded me of the swirls on the Cuttlebug folder. Used the same SU Wintergreen dp that was out from my last project.
Thanks for looking!

Well talk about clever! I only have one question.... no, two... HOW???? How did you cut the can and get it flat enough to not cut anyone or through an envelope? I'm in awe of this! Love love love the look! Great images too... so fun for winter!
