Faux Embossing

I have never heard of faux embossing...until today!  Watching Yana Smakula do this clean and simple technique really inspired me.  I dug through my die stash and found some beautiful ones to create my own faux embossed background using die cuts.

I used a little maroon card stock to add some color along with the gold embossing powder.  Sweet and simple!

Supplies I used:

• Spellbinders Shapeabilities Butterflies
• Stampabilities gold ink
• Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Damask Accents"
• 65lb card stock by Pacon Creative Products
• Core'dinations 65lb cardstock from Jo-Ann
• Embellishments are tiny nail art sequins  
• Hello Gorgeous stamp found in Michael's clearance section 
• Recollections Gold Embossing Powder
