Today It is all about the technique. I inked the raised side of my embossing folder and debossed it into the paper. It was fun and easy and boy was I happy with the results. I had to stop playing to record the video. I think I would have debossed the whole drawer of embossing folders if I didn’t stop myself. (Yes, I may have a lot of folders but that is for another day. I did learn that a felt inkpad is easier to use than a foam one. The type of ink didn’t seem to matter as what the pad itself was made of. I did try dye, oxide and pigment ink.
After playing a bit I made I used a Simon Says Stamp 3D folder to make a sunflower card. I like the Simon ones because a lot of them have the extra die to cut out to cut out part of the embossing folder.
