Hello dear bloggers, Thanks so much for your motivating and kind comments... It makes me feel that there is so much love out there just waiting to be shared... I am so glad to be part of such a beautiful world. These two cards are partly recycled because the embossed metallic circle in the first card is actually a lid from some food packaging which was lying around in the kitchen - waiting me for me to do something with it! I remember Leigh - www.charitycrafter.blogspot.com/ mentioned embossing on yoghurt lid covers in one of her posts and it stayed in my mind. She is an amazing crafter, honestly! She has so many tips to offer...And plenty of love too! So thanks so much, Leigh, your idea came in so handy. In the second card I have used a Ferraro Rocher chocolate wrapper for the round shape. I stuck the wrapper over another round piece so that it would have enough thickness to stand the pressure of embossing. The wine glasses are punched out from my new Hobby Craft punches that I got this summer. I waited for almost six months to use it... and it is such a nice punch, don't you think? I used shimmery card stock to make it look befitting for the occasion. The rest of the stuff is from my stash. I am going to enter this for www.naturallymecreations.blogspot.com - Monique's lovely blog which holds a weekend linky party every weekend (the theme being recycled) and also for the following challenges: www.sarahhurleychallenges.blogspot.com/ - embossing www.fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/ - forget me not Hugs, Monica |

Tnx for linking up at my party, i'm so glad you've participated again! :D
These cards are so lovely - i love everything about them!...i've also heard of embossing on yoghurt lids, but i've not tried it yet.
But i want to ask...how do you get the chocolate wrapper and yoghurt lid so smooth? I've tried to smooth out chocolate wrappers before but i don't get them nearly as smooth as this! Or is it just the embossing machine that does this during the embossing process? (i don't have an embossing machine either so i have no idea how they work!)
