Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #143

Hi again!  I'm back for another quick post.  I've been procrastinating on all my chores and instead snuck in another quick card today!  It is for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #143 which was to use the double embossing technique on our card.   I love the look of this technique but rarely think to do it. 

Here is my card:


I started with a card base of GKD Heavy Base Weight White.  I did my background embossing with the Cuttlebug Tiffany folder using a Spellbinders Labels Twenty cardboard mask.  I then embossed the clear area with the same Labels Twenty die.    I stamped the image from Flourishes Meet Me Under The Mistletoe set with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics.  I stamped the image again on Cryogen White, colored it and popped it up on the base image.  The sentiment is also from Meet Me Under The Mistletoe.  I was so lucky to have won that set during last month's release and I couldn't wait to use it!  A few pearls on the kissing ball finished my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by again!  I really appreciate it!  See you soon!
