Cuttlebug embossing parts of die cuts

I had quite a few emails telling me how cute the Sizzix die cut mittens were after I embossed only part of them...I was asked how some other die cuts would look only partially embossed...Well...here is another die cut I love working with, the little Sizzix die cut flower pots...I like to emboss either the rim area or the bottom of the pot...I used one of the newest border embossing folders on the rim of the larger die cut pot shape...I lined up the little flower shapes right where I wanted them to be and run thru the machine...
Thats just about perfect...I used to paint and sell terra cotto pots...so these little buggers are just fun for me to play with...
I love using the textile folder, lots of possibilities with the various patterns along the edges...I liked this little section for the smaller die cut pot...
I sponged each little die cut pot with ink, then using the same ink pad, rubbed it lightly over the raised embossed areas...Voila...adorable little additions to any paper project...I hope you enjoyed decorating some flower pots with me...and I hope to share some other things later this week...
