We have an embossing challenge over at Ready teddy go this month.

Good morning all

This is my first of two posts today - the other coming later is the Whimsy Stamps monthly blog hop - pop back and see it if you want to play along and win a great prize

But Back to the business in hand

This month our challenge at Ready Teddy go is 

Embossing

Here is my card using this cute bear from  my favouriteLOTV
Called James bear in the snow - available here

Now embossing is not my favourite theme - in fact I never use embossing folders!  I struggled a bit as to what to do then decided  that I would adapt the challenge to suit the sort of embossing that I often do and that is embossed dies. I used one of my favourite Marianne dies which  embosses beautifully to give a really nice effect on these holly leaves.  This was a really easy card to make - the little bear colours up so quickly and after that it was just a bit of cutting, sticking and embossing, a quick and easy stamped sentiment - a really quick Christmas card  of the type you could easily batch make with different papers to ring the changes - think I might make a few of these.

This is what I did....

I hope I've inspird you with another option to make a card using embossing - that doesn't have to be an embossing folder or heat embossed design
