Heat Embossing, DT card for HM&FMC

Hi and welcome to a brand new challenge at
House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.

America is our host today, and America's theme is

Heat Embossing!

This theme was really challenging for me. I do embosse

 from time to time but mostly I do dry embossing. So

when this theme came up I did panic a bit!!

This is one of my favourite House Mouse images, well a lot of them are ;)

Today's sunny papers are from Bo Bunny,

I think they look lovely together with the 'Fresh Squeezed Jokester' image.

In sted of covering the lemon with Glossy Accent, as I have done before,

I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

On the lemon slices I used embossing powder with glitter.

And finally I used black embossing powder for the Whimsy Stamp sentiment.

I loved using the sketch from Your Next Stamp,

here is the backside of my card.

And here is the lovely sketch. I'm sure I'll use it again.

Our sponsor for this challenge is once again House-Mouse Designs.

One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the shop.

Thanks for looking, the DT have all made gorgeous cards for your inspiration

 so hop on over to the HM&F Monday Challenge to see them.

I hope you'll find the heat gun and some powder and join the fun.
