The Everything's ABC's blog hop letter "E"

 For my "E" I chose Embossing. I cut my card base out of slate card stock, 41/4 x 5 1/2. I think inked the edges with the pigment ink Indian corn blue using a sponge dauber. I cut the hexagon from white daisy card stock at 1.2 inches,  using the cricut cartridge Accent Essentials. I stamped the hexagons using the Honeycomb stamp set, using the mini pigment inks. While the ink was still wet, I sprinkled the hexagons with startdust transparent embossing powder, which when heated  left my hexagons sparkley. The sentiment was stamped using the Indian corn blue, and the sentiment is from the Fabulous you stamp set. I then placed bitty sparkles all over to give the card more sparkle.

 I chose the 'tis the season stamp out of this stamp set. I decided to use a technique I had not done in a LONG time.... heat embossing!

I stamped the stamp in a Versa Mark stamp pad. Versa Mark is like a glue that helps the embossing powder stick, and it can be heated.

I chose Silver Tinsel powder by a company called Stamp-n stuff. (got it at my local craft store.) After I embossed the card, I decided I liked it the way it was, and just added some ribbon to finish it up. My stamping got a little crooked, but I am ok with that. I think it gives the card a little character.
