Group card

 Our stamping group got together last month for our Skype meeting and I am hoping I remember this right, but I believe we stamped a background stamp onto glossy paper using clear embossing ink, let that dry, we did not use embossing powder with it, I think I have done this in the past but used embossing ink. Then we took Color Burst, which are powdered ink and misted with water to activate the ink..

We then took our card base and scored an 1 1/4 inches over from the card fold, glued that portion together, added a border strip that we embossed, I used a border embossing folder from my Advent calendar, then added some string to that scored area.  I hope that all made sense. 


  • Fun Stampers Journey - Lace Background stamp
  • Diamond Press - Border embossing folder from advent calendar
  • Ms. Sparkle & co. Wooden Butterfly (Brushed inks on to color)
  • Making memories - Perfect Pink ribbons set
  • Memory Box - Greetings tabs foiled 
Added inks to the butterfly with a brush. The inside was a pop up fold she taught us, can't remember at all how we did it.

Your creativity shines through in this project! The use of clear embossing ink, Color Burst inks, and the unique scoring technique combine to create a truly beautiful and intricate card. The addition of the wooden butterfly and foiled greeting tabs adds a delightful touch.
