Good Tuesday morning! Today I have a card to share that uses a fun technique...using dies to dry emboss. I like that it adds a bit of interest to a CAS card...it's easy too! Here's a tutorial if you'd like to give it a try.First I dry embossed my card with a Spellbinder's die, next I stamped my image on DP before cutting it out with a coordinating die that was 1 size smaller. I added some grosgrain ribbon, popped up my image panel, and last added a button threaded with twine. It's a very simple card, but I like how it turned out. I think next time I may move the embossed panel up so there's more room for a sentiment at the bottom. I had forgotten how much I enjoy stamping with colored ink...it does all the work for you, so no time consuming coloring!
Images: SU! Branch Out
Paper: PTI Stamper's Select, SU! First Edition DSP
Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Real Red
Embellies: PTI Vintage Cream Grosgrain Ribbon, PTI Pure Poppy Button, Cream Twine (my stash)
Extras: Spellbinder's Nestabilities, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos
Thanks for stopping by today; I hope you will hop on over to the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog to see what the rest of the DT has created.

This card makes me happy! I love the CAS design, the pop of red, and that's one of my fave SU sets.
I LOVE this sweet CAS card!! The little pop of red with the boots and button is great against the kraft and script BG! I love tree images and this one I've ogled but never bought - lol! Would you believe I've never dry embossed using a Nestie?! Not sure what "sandwich" to use, but love the subtle frame it creates! Thanks again for your sweet comment on my blog! Have a great day!
Such a classy CAS card, Angela! The image really pops with those red boots and the print adds the perfect amount of depth to the scene!!
This is a great card. I love how you used the words just peek through the branches. Very sweet card and thanks for your comment on SCS on my Patchwork Canvas. :)
I love this one. I agree with Jessica that the red boots make the printed part of the card pop!! Awesome card.
This is a great CAS card. I love the look of this dry embossing with dies but I have yet to try it. Maybe with your inspiration today will be the day!! I particularly like the tree on top of the text - great effect!
Angela, i totally fell in love with this card !! I love the embossed CS and the tree on the scripted paper. The red boots and button are a perfect touch !!
Nicely done. Love the embossing. I never thought to do it with my nesties.
love the stamping on the words!! have to try this out!
Angela, Love the print panel with the image stamped on it, brilliant. The red boots are a great pop of color. I actually have a pair of red rain boots just like those, lol! Awesome take on that sketch.
Angela this is a really great CAS card. I love embossing with the Nesties and I think your focal image is fantastic.
Gorgeous card! I love your take on this sketch. The tree stamp is absolutely gorgeous!
