TLC404 Emboss the Edges!!

Hello everyone....it's my turn to host Splitcoast's Technique Lover's Challenge and I have a real messy one for you!!! I just love the look of embossing on the edges of an image or die cut. It adds a little dimension and in some cases eliminates the need for a background layer. Soooo our challenge this week is to
  Emboss the Edges!!! 

There are several ways to do this:

1. Use a Versamark pen or pad to ink up the edges of your image, designer paper layer, or die cut, add the embossing powder, and heat emboss.

2. Add ink to the edges of your image, die cut, or designer paper layer with a marker or ink pad and emboss with clear embossing powder.

3. If you don't have embossing powder you can add glue to the edges of your image, die cut, or designer paper layer and add glitter.

For my first card,  the edges of the Spellbinders Poinsettia were embossed with silver ep as were the sentiment from Rubbernecker and the edges of the sentiment die cut. A Spellbinders leaf die was used for the silver leaves, sewing and distressing were done around the edges of the background paper and the silver pearls for the flower center and silver ribbon finish it off.

This card features the Rubbernecker Snowflake Tree...it was stamped in Kiwi Kiss, Not Quite Navy, and Soft Sky....they were all cutout and the edges were embossed with silver ep. The sentiment  is from Rubbernecker's Snowflakes and Stardust set and the twine, button, and punched snowflake finish it off.

Both of these cards qualify for the following challenges:
1. Crafty Pad Challenge  -  Christmas
2. The Kraftyhands Challenge - Christmas
3. The Paper Creator's Challenge - All about Christmas
4. The stamp Man Challenge - emboss it

Thanks for stopping by......hope you can join us for the TLC challenge on Splitcoast this week!!!!
