Embossing - You

This weeks theme on the blog is embossing so there will be lots of posts this week packed with ideas.....so I used the word 'you' and one of the arrows from the grab bag.

  I started by making the tag and then it grew into a page, so if you ever lack inspiration, a tag is a good place to start. I used a resist embossing technique and stamped 'you' with white ink, then embossed it with clear powder and inked over the top with red brick distress ink.  I love using the chipboard words for the title and how well they take just a covering of ink and are easily transformed to match the papers. I also inked up the arrow in red and then added clear embossing powder to that to give it a glossy texture.  The perfect embellishments that started a page all about my sons love of hot chocolate!
