The new sketch from Cardabilities was posted yesterday and it was so pretty I had to give it a try. I made some background paper the other day after watching a video on using your embossing folders as ink pads. You just sponge colors of distress ink on your embossing folder(the result will vary according to witch side you ink) spritz the folder with water and lay your paper on the embossing folder, remove carefully and you have used your embossing folder in a brand new way. The popularity of stencils and background stamps seem to have taken over the world of the embossing folder(not in my world) so this is a way to get the same effect. The first layer was stamped with Milled lavendar on some lavender card with a wood grained stamp by IO. I then stamped lacy borders from Gina K with Versamark and white embossing powder. I did not get good coverage the first time but with my new Misti I just stamped and embossed again. The center piece is the piece I stamped with the embossing folder. You can't see it well in the photo, but instead of water I used some shimmer spray.. The rose is one of the spellbinder bitty blossoms. I also used a flourish from MTF and Leafy Branches from Die Namites.
The Amazing is a Cheery Lynn die which is placed on a MTF fishtail.
