Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy friends in the US! Hope that you are able to celebrate with loved ones!
I made a card using the techniques shown in the latest Make It Monday video: double embossing. I used the In Bloom Impression plate and Mat Stack 4. I did "spritz" my paper before running it through, which helped quite a bit. My spritz was a bit heavier-handed then I would have liked. It took a while for the paper to dry and I wasn't feeling very patient, so I went ahead a heat embossed by sentiment, but as you can see, little fleck stuck in places they aren't supposed to be!
This is a great technique that I will definitely try again!
Thanks for stopping by!

I'd never seen that impression plate until tonight and now I am thinking that I must get it! Lovely card-- that' s cool idea to spritz it first before running it through.
wow, this came out great!
So beautiful Melissa!! the impression is gorgeous! and I love the embossin!
I love, love, love your card! I just purchased this impression plate and received it a few days ago...now I really want to try it out! So beautiful and simple and elegant!
Just lovely! The gems are the perfect touch!
So pretty, Melissa. I LOVE the fact that you left some "white" space above the sentiment. This is a perfect sympathy card.
