Here is all the Design Team inspiration!

LISA

Lisa made 2 cards using Dry embossing on bra and pants .. flowers double embossed with irridescent embossing powder.

Jaine

My background has been embossed using an embossing folder and sanded lightly to bring out the texture.
Loved paper piecing the cupcake design.

Christine

I've embossed the background and some of the butterflies.

The butterfly punch fits beautifully over the printed butterfly design!

Tammy

I have embossed the balloons using the Houndstooth embossing folder from ProvoCraft.

I also embossed the cardbase using my scor-buddy.

Sarabeth

I used 3 different embossing folders to accent
the Sarah Hurley Butterfly Digis and kept it simple.

Clare

I used Sarah's stamps and snowflake and embossing folder

Melly

Claire S

I inked the tag, embossed with an embossing folder, then added one of
Sarah's Vampire Doodle Dolls coloured with Pro-markers.
I also added some ribbon & a button to embellish.

Camilla

I have used embossingpowder at 5 elements on this layout.



Taraleigh

I used dry embossing along the bottom edge and used heat embossing with the clear butterfly elements.

Amanda

Sandie

I used heat embossing to create the distressed and shadowed effect around the grey background cardstock, using black distressing ink, along with black sparkle embossing powder. I also used heat embossing to create the club, diamond, spade, and heart stamps.

Jo

Sizzix Embossed Friends with cupcakes from the 'Wonderland' CD
