Hello and Welcome.
It's time for another card for the
Fun theme this month:
I began by inking up my embossing folder using my Distress Oxide inks.
I started at the top with the lightest colour and worked down to the darkest.
When it was all inked, I sprayed it with water and pressed it onto my white cardstock.
I love the print it created.
Next, I placed the inked piece into my Misti and stamped the sentiment using black ink. I clear heat embossed it to make it pop.
As a finishing touch, I doodled a blackline border around the edge.
Simple, fun looking card.
I hope you will come and play along with us.
Thanks for stopping by.

It IS fun, Karen! Such a happy card! You got a great monoprint from your embossing folder. And that big, bold sentiment is a perfect fit!

LOVE this technique Karen. And the numbers are just PERFECT to go with your pretty Celebrate sentiment. The doodled border is a wonderful finishing touch. xx
I love this card! I have a big smile on my face as I am saving this idea for future use. I love everything about it, but that doodle line around the card is fabulous. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.

Karen this is one of my favorite techniques which I love to do and to teach. This is not an easy embossing folder to do something with but you made it look fantastic. Always love your creations. :) Barbara R
What a fabulous background. I think I tried this once and it did not get as sharp a color pattern as you got. I might have to try it again some time soon. I sure love your card though.
So fun, and an incredibly cool impression with one of my all-time favorite 'tools!'
