WCMD with UNITY STAMP CO. - #3 Embossing Challenge

Well, I am a day late in celebrating, but

I didn't let that stop me from

creating with 

my favorite

Red Rubbah Stamps

by Unity Stamp Co.

They hosted 8 challenges yesterday

in celebration of

World Card Making Day

at their wonderful

Unity Stamp Co. Blog.

Each challenge was a

great opportunity

to get out my stamps and play.

I feel like I had been neglecting them

for far too long...LOL

So I decided to work on the Embossing Challenge (#3) first.

You might ask, "Why start in the middle?"

  Well, I went for

a small shopping trip to my LSS last night

to get adhesive and found

an adorable Fall Word Art 

Embossing Folder by Darice for $1.00.

My card base is Kraft card stock (5x7 folded)

I decided to spray the embossing folder  

with some of my Olive Green Smooch Spritz.

Then I sprayed a tad bit of water over that for even coverage.

I wound my Natural Color card stock by Wausau Paper, through my Big Shot.

While that was drying

I grabbed my Country Pumpkin Chowder set (Jillibean Soup)

and got inky.

 *ENABLER ALERT*

This set is currently on sale at Unity 

for  47% off - 

That's ONLY $9.99.

I inked it up the word art sentiment from the set

with my new Ranger Big and Bossy embossing ink pad

then sprinkled red embossing powder over it.

I grabbed a small paint brush and put a light coat of the embossing ink 

on one of the raised leaves on my embossed card stock.

While that waited for me, I dipped my sentiment mat (wood grain paper)

in the ink and sprinkled gold embossing powder over it.  

I used the same technique on another leaf, just with the gold this time.

After heat embossing all of these areas, I decided to add a bit of orange

embossing powder around the edge of my sentiment.

The fall leaf paper in the background (and wood grain from earlier)

is from  the K&Company set Pumpkin Pie.

I inked the Thank You in Vintage Photo, then inked around all the 

edges of any card stock that was left untouched.

I raised both sentiments on the front up from their mats

using 3D foam squares.

I added some Halloween Harvest Crinkle Ribbon 

from 3 Girl JAM   behind the embossed mat and the word art sentiment.

I then inked the Blessings...sentiment and created a mat 

from the same leaf card stock on the front.

This was for the inside sentiment of the card.

A few green pearls, and the card was complete.
