Doing these dares is such a joy. We all love seeing what you create so much. The way that you have taken up and run with both the Celestial dare and the Midweek extra this week has just been awesome.
As a reward - and as I was so strict last time I set a dare - here is a nice broad theme to get your creative juices flowing.
And as I can't resist being a little (em)bossy - why not see if you can get more than one emboss technique on your card?
Without further ado - here are the team's take on the dare. And let me introduce our new guest designer - Leo. It's great working with you Leo

Embossing.
Dry embossing with a light box or with a die cutting machine.
Using embossing powders or triple embossing.
Using pre-embossed papers.
Embossing with found items.
Just have fun playing!

Hi ladies, fabulous designs for this weeks challenge. I love embossing, & don't use it nearly as much as I used to when I first started card making. Rather like stamping!!

Oh my, I just realized that some experimenting that I did earlier this week fits right in with this dare! I made an embossing folder out of chipboard and used the embossed image on a card. It's on my blog:
