Both my Stamp group and the Let's Squash it challenge blog has using embossing folders doing any technique you want.
I went with embossing this snowman and then sanding it to showcase the embossed area. Can you believe I have used another 6x6 paper pack again, I do have a few small pieces left but they went into my scraps pile, to be used up with die cuts.
I added some stickles to the ornament and hearts on the snowman.

- My Mind's eye - Lost and Found Christmas paper
- Platinum - Stickles
- Starform - Silver Merry Christmas sticker colored w/marker
My second card I swiped the background with white ink after embossing and cut the embossed image out with an oval die and sanded that too.

Both cards are lovely! I like how you did the snowman card up in green for something different, and the sanding/ink swiping really makes them "pop!"
ReplyDeleteBoth of these emboss folders are wonderful and I love the colors and layout on the top card. Nicely done on both cards.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so nicely done. You are inspiring me to get out my embossing folders.
