I'm actually not missing many supplies, Connie. Just black stazon, ep & heat tool. LOL  ;D
Since I've done most of the other challenges, I may see what I can do with what I have. April rak'd me a set of metallic colored pencils. And I have. Versamark as well as stazon dark blue.
Time to get creative I guess. ::)

I hope that this entry counts.  Let me know.  I added a stamp but it is just a flourished sentiment.

I also have a second background. I actually like this one better.

I tried to put the details in the gallery.

This was fun!  And getting out the heat gun is always hard for me, so it was a good thing it was a challenge or I might have never tried it!

I'm working on this Connie! 
My backgrounds don't look that great to me ... I tried the technique a few days ago ... now to make something out of it ...

Phew!  Finished! 

I made a masculine birthday card.
One of the tutorials mentioned they used printable silver foil sticker paper from Silhouette and I happened to have some so that is what I used.  Next time I might try something else.  I felt like I was losing some of the dimension of the embossing when I heated it to melt the EP.  I also tried the sticker paper alone (not adhered to cs first). That one came out pretty flat and in fact started to melt a bit.

On the piece I used for this card I didn't bother to stamp any images before embossing because I felt they weren't showing up much.

Here is my card :
Happy Birthday

Attached is a photo of some additional backgrounds. 
I kind of like the one with the bees and honeycomb embossing.  I was going for a tin ceiling tile look on another, but I think I was too heavy handed on the embossing powder! 

Thanks for the challenge Connie!

Cindi, love all your backgrounds!  They do look a little less embossed than the aluminum foil over cardstock, but that does not diminish its beauty at all.  Thanks for sharing!

I was a little surprised, that as much as they seemed to be flattening out (as I heated the EP), when I swiped with Stazon at the end, it still picked up raised areas.

I made a Thank You card using the tarnished honeycomb background. 

I like it better now that it's part of a finished card  ;)

Looks terrific Cindi, so funny that I thought an embossed bee would be great with it and that's what you ended up doing :)

I have put everyone's name in a bowl and my hubby just picked ...... April.... I am going away for a couple of days but I will get something around and send it when we get back.

Thanks to everyone who gave this a try, I got some great tips on trying more times at this technique!
