Allsorts 17th Birthday

 

 Allsorts challenge blog is celebrating their 17th birthday!  Lots of 

prizes this fortnight if you would like to join us at Allsorts!

 

 

Lots of embossing folder techniques on You tube  lately and  I had to try

 this one. I used different embossing folders and colors and

came up with two very different looks.

 

 Choose any embossing folder from your stash and emboss on

kraft card stock.  Gently swipe white pigment ink over the 

raised areas.  Next ink the flat side of your embossing

folder with your Distress Oxide color of choice and emboss

again in the same position in the embossing folder.  Repeat

2-4 times until you get the look desired. I went with heavier color

on the flower one.  You may need to swipe with white

pigment ink again.  Create card as desired.

Hello

I gathered up all my pink snippets to start, trimmed them up and adhered to

a 3 3/4" by 5" piece of card stock, then trimmed the edges.  I embossed

the panel with a Cuddle Bug  Mosaic embossing folder. I used additional

snippets to die cut Pink Fresh  Mini Hello word die and Simon Says Stamp 

Fiddly Leaf.  This was a fun card to make.
