Good Morning and Welcome.
Another quick card I made using this new Embossing Folder I just picked up.
As you have seen in some of my past posts, creating a background using an embossing folder is a simple way to have an instant card.
Here is a video to show how to do this.
So I inked the EB folder with Peacock Feathers DOX, sprayed with water then pressed my paper into the wet ink. After it was dry, I added the die-cut snowflake and stamped the sentiment.
The finishing touch was to add the blue buttons to the snowflake centers.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look especially at such a busy time of year.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Karen ... such a fabulous look. I was messing around with embossing folders yesterday ... have yet to make a card with any of the backgrounds though! Have a wonderful Christmas my friend ... and all that is wonderful for 2018.
