Favourite type of embossing (and why)?

Welcome to As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something 
which gives you a warm "inner glow" of pride, without lots of entry rules.




CHALLENGE RULES:

Usually we provide 2 contrasting options for you to choose from. 
Join us by using your favourite option in your creation. 

To be eligible to win our prize, or top-3 spot, 
you must explain why you've made your choice,
so we can understand why you like it so much!

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'rabbits', tell us why.
eg, you love Thumper, the bunny from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember the main requirement in creating is 
to have fun and enjoy your crafting time!

So, onto our next challenge






This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite way to Emboss (wet/dry etc) (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:



While I love the effect of wet embossing, I find it a bit messy, and I love the impact of some of my lovely embossing folders. I think they give a wonderful texture to cards, and I love the intricate design of some of my favourite folders. 





I love this CAS card with just a little embossing. The embossing gives a bit more interest to a simple card. 






I do use both, but probably heat embossing more particularly for sentiments as I think it makes them look more special.


I LOVE heat embossed detail. I still get excited by the process after many years of crafting.






. It depends on the card I planning to make. For this card I wanted to use a embossing for the background. I love the diamond shape of it. It reminds me of trellis for plants.





It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.
Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
