    I have used the small oval embossing diffuser a couple of times and like them. Susan, definitely give the embossing diffusers a try.

    Love the foil usage in the background. Great job with the embossing, not one of my better techniques I use.

    The diamond plate embossing folder is such an easy way to make a card more masculine isn't it? I love it too! ;) Your image is wonderful and great job on the card!
