Another Emboss and Deboss

Hey there - couldn't resist making another card for the current Let's Squash It!! challenge to include embossing and debossing using the same folder.

Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card; Authentique;

Neenah; Tim Holtz Classic Kraft

Embossing Folder - Mini Mechanics

Stamps - Hero Arts Watch Gear and You're the Best (both retired)

Dies - Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Circles

Other - Park Lane Stars; Hero Arts Ink

I stopped at Hobby Lobby on the way to meet a friend for lunch today and ended up with a Tim Holtz mini 3D embossing folder for 40% off! Thought the gears would be fun for the emboss/deboss technique. Turns out very subtle, but I like it! The folder is about 3" wide so I embossed a panel and debossed another, then trimmed them to fit an A2 card in landscape orientation with a bit of border around. Left is embossed, right is debossed.

Next, inspired by this card by my friend Dawn (Dawn's World), I stamped the Hero Arts Watch Gear in a matching blue and die cut 3 circles from it. Put a mat on just two of them - seems the circle to cut the mat for the biggest circle is missing.... Oh well, I like it that way, I guess. Hard to see in the photo but the yellow is distressed with the same blue (printed that way). Added a sentiment and some star gems - done! 

Thanks for visiting!! Who knows - I may be back with another entry for this fun challenge!!
