I just love these dares which I can incorporate into an order. Today it was Lythan's turn to set the dare and here is what she had to say
Embossing.Dry embossing with a light box or with a die cutting machine.Using embossing powders or triple embossing.Using pre-embossed papers.Embossing with found items.Just have fun playing!And as I can't resist being a little (em)bossy - why not see if you can get more than one emboss technique on your card?
I have used the Stylized Flowers embossing plate by Cuttlebug. These are brilliant. The detail is perfect and they give a really deep emboss. The large flower stamp is by Anita's and has been stamped with a Versamark pad and embossed with silver powder. They have been mounted onto the card using paper flowers and brads. The actual card is a very pale lilac almost grey stardream card and has a lovely shimmer to it. The backing papers are from one of the new Mat Stacks by K & Co.
This is the first time I have ever made an accordion card and I am really pleased with it. :)

Loving this accordian card, it is a really sophisticated look. And i can feel my resolve not to get any cuttlebug folders weakening rapidly...
You've used everything to such good effect, Jackie. I've got that cuttlebug embossing plate and I love it - so versatile.
Thats a beautiful card and the embossing is great.
Wow, what a special card Jackie. I'm so impressed with these embossing folders, the results are so good and all the cards I've seen using them are fab.
Obviously I need a cuttlebug....
These are both lovely Jackie. The accordian card is beautiful, lovely soft colours and it's come together really well.
I'm waiting (im)patiently for my order of CB folders and that one is amongst them!
This is simply divine, I really must practice my own ebossing techniques....Den
