3-D embossing folders are being featured lately by several stamp companies along with ideas for using them. Yana Smakula had some great inspiration this past week and so I had to have a go.
I first embossed my flower background and then smudged white pigment ink lightly over the top of the raised areas. That piece was mounted on rose gold metallic cs and then onto a navy card base. Cut the "joy" from the same rose gold and the "to the world" from the same color as the background. After I had the design all figured out, it was a pretty simple card.
I am entering my card at CAS Christmas (non-traditional colours), Darnel's NBUS (first time using the ef), Virginia's Show and Share and The Flower Challenge (use a sentiment).
Thanks for stopping by.
