Snowy Fun

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.

Beautiful 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.

Another gorgeous background using this technique Karen, and I love the large snowflakes over the top and the gems are such a great finishing touch and the colour matches perfectly. x
