Here is something that may be new to many of you … it was to me, so I decided to share it!!
The idea here is to punch out shapes or cut layers or strips out and then adhere them to your card base piece. Once adhered, place the entire layer in an embossing folder of your choice and emboss both the punched out shapes/layers/strips and the base piece all together. The result looks like seamless embossing … you have just embedded your shapes/layers to the card base. I know this sounds like a foreign language, but if you look at the samples you will see what I mean. It’s fun!!! Give it a try!!
I soooo can’t wait to see what all you creative wizards come up with!!

Fun challenge, Wendy. I have seen this technique on many cards lately, but had never tried it myself. You gave me the push I needed. I combined your challenge with the QFTD one.
