I don't have an embossing machine, just texture plates and an embossing stylus, but gave this technique a try anyway. I loved how it turned out. It was so hard to photograph. I made my little spider with 2 circle punches. My 5/8" circle for the head, and my 1" circle for the body and legs. You can't see, but my spider is on a paper spring that raises it up off of the foil by 1/2".

Your colors are incredible! Perfect spooky colors for this card and your spider is so cute (if you can call a spider "cute")! Great card, MariLynn!

WOW!!! I can't imagine embossing this all by hand, but you sure did one heck of a job!!! The colors are awesome, but that spider with the googly eyes is too cute! I love that you mounted him on a little spring!!!
