Frosted Birthday Greeting

Greetings everyone!
This Birthday card is sporting a frosted embossed tile.  To create the frosted appearance I took an acrylic tile, sanded it with my sanding block until the whole surface was scratched and you couldn't see through it.  I then stamped an image with versa mark, embossed with clear embossing powder, and then hit the heat gun to it. 

I really like how the frosted tile turned out.  I think I just might have to do some more playing around with this technique!  Maybe something feminine with flowers?

This card was created using the following Stampin' Up! supplies:

• Stamp Set/s:
• The Open Sea
• Little Friends
• Punches:
• Circle Punches
• Big Shot:
• Stripes Embossing Folder
• Framelits - Labels Collection
