Half way through the week and I'm still alive. It's a good thing I can survive on very little sleep because between pulling some late nights to get things done around the house (and some stamping too) and my son waking up at 4:15AM, I'm sure not getting much! At least I have lots of time to get a run in a few mornings a week :)
Last night I did manage to get a little stamping done after I wrapped things up around the house. And being that yesterday was Tuesday, I had to check out what Hand Stamped Sentiments had going on this week. It's a technique challenge, which I love! It's always fun to learn something new :)
Inked Embossing is a technique I have used before and it is a fun way to use your embossing folders. It's almost like creating your own DSP. I started out with the Chevron Embossing folder, but the ideas that I had in my head just weren't coming out the same when I tried to put them together on paper. So, I tried the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder and LOVED how it turned out!
Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Ink ~ Cherry Cobbler
Stamp Set ~ Snowflake Soiree
Other Supplies ~ Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon, Finishing Touches Edgelits
Happy Stamping!
Your card is so rich and gorgeous. I too love how the Lacy Brocade works with this technique. Thanks for being a part of this week's challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments. Smiles, Elizabeth

Very simple and elegant. You did a great job with the challenge and with that little sleep, amazing! Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
ReplyDeleteThis card is so elegant, you got such a perfect impression that it really does look like textured DSP. Nice work friend!
ReplyDeleteTotally gorgeous! That lacy brocade folder is just perfect for the contrast of color, and I like that elegant "Believe" sentiment. BTW, I don't miss those days of little ones waking up early...mine are 8 & 11 and I have to roll them out of bed, still snoring! Thanks for playing with us at HSS, I always enjoy your projects :) Erika
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the simplicity of the red and white. It really shows off the technique! Thanks for playing at HSS! Here's to hoping I can get some runs in this week too!
ReplyDeleteI really didn't think I needed another folder...but I just might ;) I love this card and that folder is beautiful with this technique. Thanks for playing with us at HSS.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to use the brocade folder with the Cherry Cobbler. You've inspired me to try it! Great job with the challenge. Thanks so much for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
