The Flower Challenge Reminder



 Morning.

We are half way through December and it's time for another card for The Flower Challenge.
This month our challenge is to use an older stamp, stencil or die.


 I am using my older stamp from Unity again today to create this anniversary card.
I began by creating the background using the Embossing Folder Inking Technique.  I rubbed Distress inks over the front part of my embossing folder, sprayed with water and pressed my paper onto the folder.  It is a great way to get more mileage from something you already have in your stash too!

I placed the flower stamp from Unity inside my Misti and stamped with black Memento ink then stamped the sentiment from Rubber Stampede and done.



Please come and play along with us!!


 Adding my card to these challenges:

Brown Sugar- ANYTHING GOES

Crafting With Friends- ANYTHING GOES

Creative Artiste- ANYTHING GOES MIXED MEDIA

Simply Papercraft- ANYTHING GOES



Supplies:  stamps- Unity, Rubber Stampede/ inks- Memento, Distress/ embossing folder/ mini mister/ MISTI

    That technique comes out so perfectly for you, Karen. Mine usually looks sloppy. It made a beautiful background for the silhouetted flowers.

    Your inked eb folder background turned out beautifully, Karen. I love your color choices. Your silhouette flower stamping and sentiment were perfect choices too. TFS my friend. Hugs, Nancy

    Your background is gorgeous, Karen! I've never come up with anything this beautiful using this technique! Need lots more practice I guess. The simple flowers and sentiment are so striking and make a very classy card!

    Beautiful, I knew you would do a brilliant job. Nice colour combo here to. Embossing folder and distress inks - another technique to try. Wow just had a thought, haven't even looked at my embossing folders for Christmas cards, so have to check them out.

    OoH! love that honeycombed background. I haven't done the inked embossing folder trick in a long time. This is just awesome in so many ways.
