happy birthday

 hello crafters!

I saw the challenge at inkspirational this week and thought of one of the few embossing folders I have called 'woodland'. Perfect!

I used the technique where some ink is brayered onto one side of the folder and then it's run through to emboss the card - I did this twice with different coloured inks. Unfortunately for me, the second time I ran it through, I snapped the folder  :(  Has anyone else had this happen? what a pain. Maybe it was getting a bit old and brittle. Anyway, I may be on the hunt for a new one *sigh*

I had planned on running it through 3 times with different inks, but ended up adding the third colour with some ink smooshed die cuts instead. I love how the different colours add so much dimension to the embossing.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  2. How sad your folder broke, it was a pretty one. Lucky you got a superb card before it was too late. Great effect with the different colored inks. Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational!
