Did you ever have one of those days when you did not want to stop creating? Tomorrow I am teaching a technique class for my card group and I will show them how to use ink and an embossing folder. I learned about this neat use of embossing folders from Karen Dunbrook and now I will show my group how to do it too. I chose three folders and created three cards but then I decided to play some more and chose to CASE a card by HEY THERE...ROSIGRL! (Rosemary).

I inked the EF with Peeled Paint, spritzed with water and lightly pressed onto a piece of white card stock. When the ink was completely dry I stamped and heat embossed two different stamps with Versafine. I mounted the paper onto black cardstock. The base is Certainly Celery and the angled piece is designer paper. I mounted the image with mounting tape and decided to fill in the white space with a sticker sentiment and lastly added some blink into the center of the clocks.
Supplies - Paper SU!: Whisper White, Black, Certainly Celery, DSP
Ink - Versafine, Distress Ink: Peeled Paint
Stamps - Unity "Tomorrow Is Today's Dream," freebie clock stamp
Other - embossing powder, sentiment sticker (Paper Studio), Kaiser Pewter Pearls (bling)
Fabulous texture on this! Love that honeycomb effect, layered with other images.
