My background (which is my cheating version of dry embossing) is actually our Silhouette Branch Background stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed using white embossing powder.
For the Butterfly Oval, I originally tried to cut out both the inside and outside of my oval, but there just didn't seem to be enough left, so I had to quickly come up with plan B - This version was way quicker and easier than the original, so some good things came out of it! The Retirement Sentiment was stamped using turquoise ink. After hand cutting both ovals ( I really need to invest in a cuttlebug or something similiar :) I distressed, re-distressed and re-re-distressed the edges hoping to even things off. Sponging the edges (before distressing) and popping up both layers with foam tape really gave this card some depth!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Backgrounds were often done with embossing before we had embossing folders and a machine. It is good to use all the tools we have!
Love the projects and the chances to win!

Loved this idea! You've got my creative brain wave buzzing to make generic embossed background cards with pre-stamped and colored frames ready for any sentiments to be filled in when I need a card in a pinch! Thanks for sharing the idea! :)
Love the embossed background on your card. Thanks for sharing!
Such cute cards. I love the BIrthday Sheet Music especially. Thanks for the chance to wi.
Very colorful & retirement is "happy".
Love how you managed to recover from what could have been a mistake and make a beautiful card. Good Job.

At times I wish I could retire, love the card, very colorful. Great job on cutting the ovals by hand.

Great card - I absolutely love my embossing folders - they make my life so easy by adding an extra pizzaz with minimal effort! And the retirement sentiment - love it - on the horizon - counting down just over a year :-)
Very pretty. Love the distressing around the frame!
Very pretty--I like your "dry embossing"
Love the Butterfly oval.
I graduated from high school with the winner today - Marjie Smyth.
