Heart 2 Heart...Goth Halloween

Ok, so this is as close to goth as I can get. Our assignment this week at Heart 2 Heart Challenge is to use some type of embossing, be it heat or dry. I chose dry for this card simply because with CTMH cardstock a white core increases the possibilities for creativity. Here is my card:

I scored in 1" increments diagonally and then sanded the raised edges to give that worn look. The hardest part of that process was getting my lines straight. Makes me wish I had a Scor-Pal.  I"ll have to put that on my Christmas list. The pendant was made using Nestabilities Renaissance Hearts dies. I scored through and next to each point and folded it accordion style. Believe it or not, the red panel and the black panel are the same die cut. Once you fold the upper one, it shrinks giving the appearance of two different sizes. The sentiment panel was stamped in white craft pigment ink and I distressed the images a bit to tie it into the rest of the card.
So what time is it? Time to put your creativity into overdrive and show us some fancy embossing! Make sure to link up your creation to Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog and remember that although your creation doesn't have to be 100% CTMH, we love to see the endless possibilities with their products!
