First ever embossing attempt!!

Well, as you may know from earlier posts Santa very kindly brought me a Big Shot for Christmas and to be honest I didn't really use it after I scared myself when it made a cracking noise and I also put a die in upside down - honestly I am so daft sometimes!! Anyway, at Harrogate in March I bought some scalloped circles and needed to use them so blew the dust off- and hurrah - everything is fine. So feeling brave I ordered an embossing folder and had a little go - yay no problems there either - so here is my first ever card made with my new embossing folder:




This is co-incidence honestly as not really into football! But it is red, white & blue with some little clear gems that I got with a Hero Arts stamp. I would like to enter this into the Crafty Catz embossing challenge. And cupcakecraft challenge -dazzle us.

Thanks for looking.
