Hello everyone. It is my turn to host the new challenge at The Alphabet Challenge. Having reached the letter ‘E‘, I have chosen the theme of ‘embossing – wet or dry’. Here is my card:

I started by die cutting all the elements from a couple of Spellbinder die sets, and used a mixture of Concord & 9th and Spellbinders card stock.
Deciding to go landscape, and dry embossed a panel and adhered it flat to the card base.
I played around with the layout, knowing that the ampersand would be sat on top of the florals – which took a little figuring out when it came to 3D foam – where to place it, and how many layers………the ampersand was die cut a couple of times and layered together for added stability, and also ended up with 2 or 3 layers of itty bitty 3D foam pieces – I do like to make my life harder….!
