Friendly Octopus Double Embossed Card

I am having such a fun time playing with the Sea of Textures Bundle! Today's card is a card I designed for my Technique Tuesday Classes. My layout was inspired by the metal ring wreaths that have been so popular on Pinterest(r) lately. Instead of flowers, I used the octopus image.

My Technique Tuesday Class is all about building your stamping skills. Each month we have a main technique, then I sprinkle in mini-techniques to boost your skill sets.

August's main skill focus was on two embossing folder techniques - faux letterpress and double embossing. Above is the double embossed Sea of Textures card I designed for my class. You can see the un-embossed area inside of the circle surrounded by the Seaside Embossing Folder embossed area on the Soft Seafoam mat. The Crumb Cake circle frame delineates the two areas.

The mini-techniques I shared were masking and how to create circular frames with the Layering Circle Framelits.

For the inside of the card, I chose a greeting from the Pretty Kitty stamp set. The octopus looks like he is coming to say hi! He is so friendly looking!

If you would like more information about the techniques we used in my Technique Tuesday Classes, please contact me today to sign up for the next Technique Tuesday Class or to schedule a private lesson.

You can find the supply list at the end of this post.

Thanks for stopping by!
Beth
