Cuttlebug embossing on fabric = fun!
I've just Cuttlebug embossed a fabric pocket die cut, what fun! I used the Stylized Flowers folder on some chambray/denim material. Just thought I'd share as I know there are one or two CB folder owners on SCS!
I ran some CS through my Xyron, attached the denim and then die cut the pocket. I sat there wondering hmmmm, wonder if I can CB emboss this? So I tried and it worked fab!
I did pass it through my Big Kick twice to make sure it embossed - it may well have worked with one pass but I wanted to make sure. I have just swiped some navy pigment ink over the embossing and it's looking good!
Not sure if it would work on just fabric without CS backing - has anyone else tried fabric CB embossing? I will try again tomorrow after scouring my craft room for some promising supplies LOL! Wondering what it would be like on velvet?!
Please let me know if you've tried CB embossing on fabric - and share what possibilities you can think of for this.

OK, I took a pic and uploaded it to my gallery but it was deleted. I have put the pic on a public gallery and will try to create a link to it - hope it works!
Cuttlebugged Fabric
The piece of denim on the left has no CS backing - the impression is certainly not as deep as the pocket with CS backing.
The deep purple panel in the centre is velvet/suede paper - great deep impression on that - fab result!
