My first post with Kraftin Kimmie!
Well in case you didn't know, I was invited to be a guest dt member for the month of December. You have NO IDEA how excited I was when I got Kimmie's email! And our challenge this week at Kraftin Kimmies is to use embossing, either heat embossing or dry or both if you choose!
I have used one of Kimmies Christmas release stamps called Felicity and I apologize because she does have a halo but I am not sure where exactly it is. But she is still pretty don't ya think? I have heat embossed the edges of the dp with gold powder and the paper directly behind the image is dry embossed and then rubbed with some distress ink to bring out the dimension a bit. Her dress did not want to cooperate with me and on the original image the ink ran (note to self, you do not need to saturate the image with smooch ink to get it to glimmer) so I stamped a gold design on some white paper and paper pieced it although it is really hard to see in the photo. Alright, time to get your embossing tools out and if you win you get the stamp Diana has used this week on her card which is the lovely Takara! And Kimmie's Frugal Fridays specials are available now too. On sale this week are Mr Punkinhead, Rudy the Reindeer, Billy Blyth, Speedy the Turtle, Roxy and You are a Treat!

Love the swiped, embossed edges! Your colouring is really dramatic! Funny that you commented on my embossing folder, cuz it came with the one you used!!
Hi Amanda. I'm not sure if I have congratulated you yet, but if I haven't 'Congrats my friend!' I can certainly see why Kim would ask you. You do such wonderful work with all of the Kraftin Kimmie stamps. I love your card. I think your gold embossing on the edges is just fantastic. Such a pretty card with both kinds of embossing. No one would ever think you had any kind of problems with the making of your card as it is just Beautiful! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Lisa
