BRRRR! It's starting to get cold here in Southern Oregon. We've had our first frosts, so my mind is starting to go to winter scenes. I jumped off from Shopping Our Stash Weekly Challenge - "Emboss Like a Boss" for inspiration as I played with a new-to-me die from Tim Holtz.
I dry embossed a snowy sky from Darice and then die-cut a small, stitched rectangle from the same panel. I glued a portion of one of the Tim Holtz #666334 "Forest Shadows" dies to the face and trimmed it out, matting it with a silver panel. I heat embossed the sentiment in silver on a larger stitched rectangle, tied a couple of strands of thin silver thread in a bow, and glued on a silver star sequin and gem and mounted all of this to a white card base. The final step was to add a small die cut house from Alexandra Renke's "Winter Village" set with a bit of dimensional foam. Before attaching the house, I added a tiny yellow panel to the back to light up the windows. So, this is my spare approach to "Boss Embossing"!
