Morning. Thanks for bearing with me while I pursue my new obsession of inking my embossing folders. I guess they have sat idol for so long that I am thrilled to have a new use for them.
I began this card by inking my folder with Distress inks in Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon. I sprayed with water then pressed my paper into the wet ink. When it was dry I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black. It needed something more so I cut out a heart and pierced the edges for interest.
I am also adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- ANYTHING GOES
Challenges 4 Everybody- ANYTHING GOES
Use Your Stuff- OMBRE
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
Supplies: stamps-Penny Black/ eb folder/ Distress inks/ Memento bl/ piercing tool
