I haven't embossed in ages, but this was worth it!

I am usually way too lazy to heat emboss anything, even though I love the results. I received this fantastic butterfly set from Stampscapes last week, and had in my mind to try it with the split negative technique. Well, wouldn't you know it? The VSN Mini Challenge this weekend on splitcoaststampers included that very technique! I couldn't decide which card I like better. Both of the sentiments are so great that I wanted you to see them both. The sentiments are from a set called Artquotes 1 by Invoke Arts.

The sentiment reads, "Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
