Embossing, embossing!

I'm not sure if I did this technique correctly, however, I'm really pleased with the end result of this spot of embossing.
On Technique Tuesday, Mynnette showed what she called an 'Embedded Image' technique.
For my version, I triple embossed a Sizzix die cut heart, using Versamark and Red Tinsel embossing powder. When cool, I stamped the image from the SU Vintage Vogue set also in Versamark and embossed it with WOW Black Glint embossing powder. It does look really twinkly in real life.
The flourish I believe is from Dienamics.
I computer generated the sentiment in Dean Martin and Alex Brush fonts.

Next week I shall be making cards with my 4 year old granddaughter Daisy when she comes to stay for half term... I hope!

    Oh, there is nothing like doing crafts with the grands, Chrissie. I don't think it's possible to have more fun that that!

    Your card is extraordinary! From the description, it sounds like it is even more sensational IRL!!
