It's Week 15 over at the Less is More Challenge, and this week it's 'One Layer Card - Embossing'. On the one hand this challenge is a bit easier for me (looking back, there's only 3 weeks that I haven't embossed!) however, I felt that I needed to try something I hadn't done before.
I decided to use my fab new stamp from Stampin Up and to create a partially embossed 'frame' around it (the part I haven't done before). Well as you can imagine it took a fair bit of trial and error (I won't bore you with the details) and in my final attempt below, the image is not properly centered inside the frame (and that was using my stamp-a-ma-jig!).

Fabulous card. Not being very technical I think anyone who can do partial embossing is a genious lol. So there you are... you are a genious.

What a lovely card, looks kind of tricky so well done! xx
This is a beautiful and stylish card Suze. I'm sure the embossing must have taken quite some time to do, but it was well worth it. Jo
All these new techniques (well new to me!). Partial embossing?? Tis a mystery to me how you've done this but I'd love to know!! Fabulous image too! I've used that a lot recently! Great card. TFS (but share more :-) )
Great card; I love the black and white and the 'wedding frame' for the very cute image.
Fab card, elegant yet fun!

Ooh this is the second card I have seen with partial embossing -I cheated because my folder was like that. Must have a go at figuring how to do this.
Your card is beautiful. Love the black against the embossed white.

Holy Moly!!! Your card is fabulous!!!!!!!!!! I would LOVE you to bore me with those details. How did you use the embossing forder and get the nestie part to not be embossed inside the oval?????? What a fabulous creation!
Hi there Suze, love this card. The embossing is brilliant and I love the silhouette, perfect:0) xxx
Beautiful and well worth the effort,
Liz x
This is such a great image. The card is lovely!
Oh wow! This is just stunning! I must find a tutorial so I can have a go at this partial embossing - not a clue how to do it!
I saw the card you made for your previous post using this stamp and loved it but this one is even more gorgeous! Very clever partial embossing! Vx
you are totally rocking the Less is More thing

Suze...looks like we were thinking alike this week! I used the same type of embossing...and I love how it turned out! Your's is beautiful...and I'm loving that stamped image!
Fabulous card.. Chris xx
Beautiful embossing and it sets of that silhouette perfectly.

The image really looks great in the embossed frame, love it :)

Oh my world! What stunning embossing. From someone who is terrified of embossing this is heaven :)

Love that stamp, so funny. Great card too. Stamping inside a frame is really hard, I contemplated putting a scored frame around my image but there's always the risk I might screw it up so I chickened out! Thanks for stopping by already.
Hugs

Wonderful wedding card!! Love the embossed frame...your image fits into and goes perfectly with it:)!!
Great card. I've never tried partial embossing. It looks tricky! I love that image - how fun!
Hi Suze, what an elegant card. Please bore me!How did you keep the embossing out of the frame? Thanks for your advice on my blog - I will try it and see if I can get it to work. Sarah
I admire your craftsmanship (is that the right word?) I don't know how to only partially emboss a card as you did. it's really beautiful!

mmm I think I recognize this stamp! ;) It's lovely. And i'm truly amazed at your technique! what's your secret??
Two great cards can't decide which is my fav, but the stamp does look great on both cards.
THanks for your comments
