Embossing - Machine

I love this blessing and wanted it to be the focal point of my card, with a few little shamrocks scattered around as decoration. I had plenty of green paper off cuts in my scrap drawer so decided on a patchwork style background using 1" squares mounted on black cardstock. Since I printed the shamrocks quite small, I kept the colouring simple using just two markers.

We have been altering bottle caps on the forum for a swap (I'll show you those next week!). I was determined to find a way to flatten them in the Cuttlebug, and it didn't take long at all! The bottle caps I have used are those you buy for home brewing. They come in bags of 50 for a couple of pounds. I bought mine from E-Bay - they were £1.50 for 100! I have tried this method of flattening with saved beer caps from Jesper's beer, but it doesn't work - you need the home brewing kind! However…
