Happy Birthday


A dear friend has a birthday this coming week and this is the card I
made for her. We celebrated with lunch and shopping, along with my mom,
 in the little town of Kimswick, MO which includes a stamping store!
 
 Last week on The House That Stamps Built our
Designer Choice Challenge was to try a technique new to you
and one of my teammates did inking an embossing folder.  I'd been
wanting to try this and her beautiful card motivated me.  The stamps
came with a magazine Creative Stamps and Papercraft Ideas,
$14 and an 8x10 sheet of images and an 8x10 sheet of
sayings, can't bet that deal!

    This looks beautiful - you've got great coverage with your embossing folder technique. It's one I'd forgotten about but must try again.

    Your embossing folder has served as a beautiful background stamp. I love that you only used red ink on here.
