PENNY BLACK CHALLENGE 30.

This is my card I have made for the challenge this week 'EMBOSSING'. Sorry picture doesn't show it up too good but the yellow paper is dry embossed with my new sizzix plates and the green paper I have done resist stamping too. I stamped the flower patten with Versa mark ink onto the green paper then put clear powder over the top and heat embossed it with my heat gun.
The Penny black image was given to me in a swap, so I have water coloured and layed it up. To finish I stamped the messages 'Thank you'.
