Here comes the Sun Card

Created a similar card to this which you can see by clicking here. Changed it up by using the other embossed side and with this Sun pattern I was not sure which was the embossed & which was the debossed side. Used heat embossing for the sentiment. Only used 1 layer this time instead of 2 layers. Did not add any ribbon.

Created this Clean & Simple CAS Card with focus on sentiment & Sun theme. Embossed the yellow base with LifeStyle Crafts GooseBumpz Celebrate embossing folder. used VersaMark to stamp Darcie's sentiment in center of Sun along with Zing Gold embossing powder & Marvy heat gun.

Not often do I use heat embossing for a sentiment and was pleased with the result of all letters clearly embossed with no letters left off or parts of letters left off and no extra flecks of embossing powder left on the card.
