November challenge - Emboss It - updated 30.11.12



(Please scoll down for the latest addition)

Time for a new challenge and for November we are asking you to emboss.  You can use embossing powders, folders, stencils, pastes, metals etc.   Perhaps challenge yourself and combine a variety of embossing techniques.  

Your projects can be for any theme as long as they include embossing.  If you are new, please read our challenge rules given at the top of the page.

I am going to start off the challenge with a little Frantage Encrusted Jewel Technique (of course, I had to!)

I also thought I would use the Stampendous Poinsettia design which is our giveaway prize (until Sunday 4th November).

Here is a little inspiration from the Stampendous Design Team for this lovely poinsettia design.  The separate border stamp will prove useful all year round.

NEW!  Stampendous Oct 2012 
I thought it would be nice to coincide this giveaway with the new release from Stampendous which is actually their Spring 2013 designs, along with more Frantage style designs to add to the ever growing collection.  I previewed the new catalogue in my previous post and gave a few sneaky peeks but to see the full catalogue click HERE.
