Embossed Eiffel Tower

  I really love the texture that embossing folders add to a card. The background panel uses a technique called bisque pottery. Simply use a brayer to apply ink to the front of an embossing folder, I used Crumb Cake ink and Vintage Wallpaper EF, and emboss with the Big Shot. Here is a tutorial by Diana Gibbs and the inspiration for this card. I used the set called Artistic Etchings. The Eiffel Tower was heat embossed with the new Pewter embossing powder found in 
the Holiday Mini catalog. Don't you just love the ribbon? It is Cherry Cobbler Quilted Satin ribbon also found in the Holiday Mini.

I am frantically trying to finish my Christmas cards before Halloween hits. Anyway, that's the plan...

I love how you embossed the card with bisque pottery technique. Beautiful card. I need to open my jar of pewter embossing powder and use it.
