Sympathy

Good Morning

Taking a break from stenciling to use the new to my Foxgloves Embossing folder I picked up from Scrapbook.com.

I so wish I could grow these in my garden, they are so elegant and beautiful.

I used a simple inking technique that can be used with any EB folder and it is a great way to get more mileage from tools you already have on hand.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I got out this Foxglove EB folder and inked it up with some Dusty Concord and some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks.
• Next, I gave it a small spray of water and then I placed a piece of white cardstock into the folder and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum machine.
• I took the inked panel out of the folder and splattered it with my white Posca pen.
• While that dried, I stamped the sentiment, clear heat embossed it and then die cut it out.
• I glued the embossed panel onto a heavy white A2 card base.
• Lastly, I pop dotted the sentiment along the bottom of the flowers.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
