Sweet Stampin' Embossing Challenge meets Sunday Stamps Sketch #38

I love the look of dry embossing so I just had to enter a card into this week's Sweet Stampin' Challenge for dry embossing.  The Sunday Stamps Sketch #38 fits so nicely with the Cuttlebug frame embossing folder I used. The white core cardstock from Close to My Heart makes it possible to get more out of dry embossing by distressing the raised edges. 

   
All products used can be found on my Close To My Heart website here except for the Cuttlebug embossing folder.  The card ingredients are:

Black CS
Ruby CS
White Daisy CS
For Always patterned paper
Casual Expressions stamp set
Black ink
Red Sparkle Adhesive gems
Licorice Opaque Adhesive gems
Cuttlebug Tiffany Scroll Flourish Frame
Sanding Block
1.25" CTMH Circle Punch
3D Foam Tape

Here's the sketch from Sunday Stamps #38:

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
