Now on to the Hop!! If you are following the hop in order than you came from Cindy's site Heart's Delight where she showed off her mad water coloring skills.

I will showcasing the technique called inlaid embossed. My creations for this hop was the first time I even tried this technique and the card I shared in my last post was going to be part of this one but I shared it early. So onto my first card.

This card is a 2 3/4 x 4 1/2. I inlaid the butterflies and the background square onto the base by using the vintage wallpaper embossing folder. You all know how much I love butterflies so I think this card is too cute!! I stepped it up with some bling and that lovely lace ribbon.


This next card I made for a masculine card and it has a ton of vintage vibes to it. This one was a lot of fun and I covered some of the cogs I inlaid with the main image but you still get the feel of the embossing. For this one I used the Square Lattice folder.

Now for my last card which is my absolute favorite of my trio!!

I normally you would not use From the Crypt as a Birthday card but I would LOVE this card for my birthday!! Of course I have a fasinaction with skulls if you recall and since I couldn't use my favorite set I used a current skull one. For the inlaid embossing on this one I used my bat punch and the Elegant Lines folder. I also used some bling, shimmer paint and beautiful bow to top off the card.

Thanks for joining me and hope you like my creations as much as I did!!
