For our last challenge it was anything goes, I went to my little container of unused items I have and this embossing folder was one I bought at the yard sale at my stamp store awhile back and I hadn't given it a try yet. I decided to break out my metallic rub ons, although this link isn't the colors I have this is what I used to ink the raised area's of my embossing folder. You can find it Here.
The color in my set was called Nubian and it was a cross between black and gray and I used a cream card stock for my base. When using this product I have always used my fingers to apply it but this time I decided to use a finger dauber and that worked much better I think. I used a dark gray card stock for the base of the card. Added my sentiment and some pearls.
This card is a 5x7.

Ink embossing is beautiful. I wish you loved closed I would give you my Fiskars Fuse!
Your make spectacular cards. The stenciled background turned out darling on the hot air balloons card. I am so fascinated with hot air ballons but would never go up in one!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
Good job on working with the metallics. That was one of my first stamping purchases.
Your pearls are a nice addition
This card is so beautiful. Great job :)
Beautiful result loving the black and white with touch of pearls.x
Oh wow! That EF makes for a gorgeous card, love the color too! This is really beautiful!
What an elegant card!
The ink has lifted the beautiful embossing so well, I love that folder.
Very pretty Connie... such a sweet background design... love the 'smoky' look.
It's lovely, very elegant :)
All the best Jan
