I did something a little different today and used one of my favorite frame dies to emboss with.  Instead of putting your base plate, die, paper and then cutting mat, I did base plate, die, paper and embossing mat before the cutting mat.  It gives a pretty good embossing impression which you can see from the photos.  It was kind of hard to pick up in the photos and it looks even better in person.

I used the Ornament 9 die below my sentiment panel and rather than use the entire thing, I cut it in pieces to use as I wanted.

My card is finished off with a pretty bi-color bow that I created on my Bow-it-All V3.0 tool using ribbon from the June Ribbon Club Assortment from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
