Lovely as a Tree and Embossed Aperture

I watched THIS video from the very talented Michelle Last on how to emboss a border made from a framelit and I just had to give it a go. I got out my old faithful stamp set Lovely as a Tree, stamped the tree in versa mark ink then heat embossed using iridescent embossing powder. I then used sponging and masking make to a winter scene, the embossed aperture just sets it off nicely.

 You can see the border around the oval aperture, it is a great technique, thank you Michelle for sharing it.
