I titled this as such because I have trouble heat embossing. Is that goofy or what?!! Anyway, I embossed the bottom image about 5 times, the top 2 or 3. This creation slowly drove me out of my mind. I insisted on using both images since I went to so much trouble. So there you have it a double decker card or a tall and skinny. I'm just glad it's finally done.

It may have given you fits, Kim....but it is GORGEOUS. Your use of the colors in your layered stamping is exquisite....glad you include both for us to enjoy.
Love your double decker masterpiece. You may have struggled but the end result is wonderful.

That's a doozy of a double decker! I love it! The way you applied your colors is so pretty and I love the paper piercing. I have trouble heat embossing too! It's the oldest thing in the book, but sometimes I still can't get it right. Your card is really pretty and summery. Makes me smile and think it will be here before we know it! tfs

well worth the aggravation, because it is just beautiful.
not sure how old your EP is, but i know that i had a lot of trouble with some recently and i never had before. i decided that since my inkpad was still plenty juicy, it was likely that (eventually) EP may go bad. so i replaced it and have had no issues since.

It's beautiful! I love the style of the card itself. The double decker part and how you rounded some of the edges. The sentiment is sweet. I think you're embossing turned out its fantastic.

I love it, Kim!. I understand when the frustration level rises too high it often diminishes the result in the eye of the creator. I will gladly send you my address so you can get it off your hands!!!
