For this card I used Coredinations Black Magic Paper. The outside is black and this particular piece has a blue core. I cut the card at 5.5"X4.25". I embossed it with one of the Heritage Cuttlebug folders. They can be used with so many other ideas.After embossing, I sanded the design to bring out the blue. I then cut an oval of blue and one of the silhouettes from the Heritage cartidge. I did not add a sentiment. I'll add that later when I use it. I think it would make a great "Just A Note" card. I cut an ink & quill and put it on the inside.
Another picture on our blog.

After seeing your card, I decided to order the embossing folders. Can't wait to try them out.

To do embossing, you would need to buy a machine such as the Cuttlebug. There are other embossing machines out there as well. There are many embossing folders that can be used in either of the machines. You just have to do a little online research to decide which one is best for you. Hope this helps and I hope you're having a great time with your Expression!
