I can't tell you how satisfying it was to make this card because I LOVE pressure/dry embossing--it's so elegant and gives such dimension to a card. But, I haven't been able to do it for years, due to my tendinitis; just too painful and took waaaaaay too long. Now? Lawdy, I can pressure emboss to my heart's content with the Big Shot or the Cuttlebug! I am quite a happy stamper! In fact, the most time-consuming part of the whole project was figuring out what to embellish it with, and how!

Stunning!!! I keep telling myself "I do not need the Cuttlebug, I do not need the Cuttlebug". Am I convincing anyone because it sure isn't working on myself???
This card is beautiful. I am so excited to see the effect, of the chalked embossing. It is stunning. Thanks for giving us a good look. Love what you did to accent.
