Emboss it!

So I decided to play along with a challenge... yep! I really am trying to get into this whole card making thing again! I really do miss it...so the best thing to do is jump in on some challenges, right?  Simon Says Stamps has a challenge on their blog yesterday about embossing!  

I jumped into the challenge and used my Sizzix Embossing folder and added some distress ink to it then embossed it on the vellum. I wanted to get an ocean like background, and I think I did pretty good! I matched it up with The Alley Way Stamps blowfish and sentiment! I love the stamp set, and yes it has been sitting in my collection for over a year... yep guillty once again of not stamping and cardmaking! So here is the card:

Here is a detailed shot:
