I've always thought this embossing folder looks like tin ceiling tiles, so that was my inspiration for today's technique challenge, to use a soda pop can. I embossed the main panel and adhered it to the black mat, with the wrought iron corners on the top and the arched lattice punch on the bottom. It really punched it so easily, I was surprised. The side of the card was also embossed with the textile texture folder and a line was added with my scor pal to sharpen the edge. I added the scalloped ovals which were also embossed and another bit of the soda pop can was used for the sentiment. I had embossed it with the textile texture folder, but it was too much, so I ran it through the cuttlebug under the folder to smooth it out. It left a really cool look. Give it a try. I added the ribbon and bows and VOILA! What do you think?

That is awesome!! My husband is working from home today and he suggested I try using it in the cuttlebug. He should be a stamper - he has good ideas. I tried it in one of my punches and it got stuck. ANyway, I love your card. Great job trying new things.
