While perusing the web for some ideas to spruce-up the envelopes for our save-the-dates, (stds aren’t done yet, but when I’ve got the final proof, I’ll give you a peek.) I came across this on Wedding Bee. Love it. LOVE it. Mrs. Eggplant even gives you a step-by-step process!

Looks easy, right?
So, I stopped by Michaels and checked-out their rubber stamps and embossing supplies. I picked up black and plum embossing powder, an embossing heat gun, embossing ink and pad, some spot paint and brushes and three rubber stamps. Cost = more than I wanted to spend ($50 with a 40 percent coupon). But, I had nothing to start with.
We’ll see if I like the embossing method or the printed border method…

Thought I would maybe give you a bit of a suggestion.
This could be where you went wrong with embossing. Try using a pigment colored ink pad in the color you want and then a clear powder. I have heard it works much better.
