Owl be embossed!

I love this week's challenge at Less Is More of embossing on a one-layer card. I used a lovely, heavy, navy blue card for my Cuttlebug owl embossing folder, and got out my heat gun and heat embossed the greeting in silver so it's a double embossing project. I painted Smooch Illuminate over the owl to give it a subtle glimmery emphasis - just enough so that it still works for my guys' birthdays. It/they. Um yes, as usual with my LIM cards, I couldn't stop at just the one!

You know what the biggest challenge is with these LIM cards though? Photographing them! I think I've spent more time getting a decent picture than actually making the card with nearly every challenge. There really is no darker border around the card, and the non-matching beige is my floor tile, not part of the card. At least I'm learning lots about lighting, white balance on my camera and photo-editing software. Roll on Saturday for the next one!
