I must say another big THANK YOU to all you amazing LIMettes and Lady LIM Chrissie and Diva LIM Mandi for all the lovely, lovely comments!! They just make my day ladies!!
Now... on to my card for Less is More. This week is one layer challenge week and Chrissie and Mandi have asked us to do some embossing, either heat/wet or dry. I decided to do both. One of my favorite ways to emboss is to use VersaMark watermark ink and stamp it on to colored cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set. The color of the cardstock just "pops" with this technique. I decided to use kraft cardstock because next to white cardstock kraft is my favorite. Using the largest rectangle in the Spellbinders Large Rectangle dies I embossed the rectangle onto my card base. I then stamped the damask image from the SU! set Bliss in the center, applied the clear embossing powder and heat set. I finished off the card with a simple "thank you" stamped in black ink. Simple as simple can get, but well... I like simple!!
Thanks for taking a peek...
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI kraft; Stamps: SU! Bliss & Because I Care; Ink: VersaMark Watermark, PTI True Black; Ranger UltraFine Clear Embossing Powder; Spellbenders Large Rectangle dies

I do love your style, my friend! This is just lovely! I need to figure out how to emboss with my spellbinder dies.
I don't use kraft often...but I truly love the look! Awesome card, Rosemary!
You're killin' me with the elegance factor, Rosebud. YOU are such a tasteful crafter: I adore your work! Your use of dry embossing proves THAT! It just celebrated the beauty of PAPER, first and foremost! Such a terrific showcase for your excellent TALENT, as well as taste! Whoopeeee!
How pretty, and oh so elegant...love the embossing that frames your image...lovely:)!!
Simple and lovely. I'm going to have to try that technique - using clear EP over Versamark. It looks great.
