Embossing!

Hi everyone, Micki here as your hostess for our new challenge! A great big thank you to everyone who joined us in our Fall challenge.  Wow, everyone submitted wonderful, awe inspiring projects!!  
Our new challenge is not going to be seasonal or holiday inspired, because - well, I don't know about you but I don't even want to think about the fact that Christmas and the New Year is literally right around the corner, lo!  Instead, let's focus on a technique. 


We challenge you to use EMBOSSING on your project.  
It can be any type of embossing, such as wet embossing with embossing powder or dry embossing using embossing folders, stylus, etc.  You get the idea, right?
Your project can be a card, 3-D, canvas, etc. 
anything that will clearly show the embossing technique!

Before sharing inspiration from the Sisters, we want to give a very warm welcome to our newest step-sisters.  These lovely ladies will be joining us for our November and December challenges and will be sharing their inspirations.  Please welcome 


and


Stop by their blogs and leave them some love!

Now for some EMBOSSING inspiration:
