I sure couldn’t resist this new embossing folder in the 2009-2010 catalog! The first card I made with the Finial Press textured impressions die uses the Embossed Wax Paper Resist technique I found on SCS. You need wax paper, printer paper, and a hot iron (no steam) to turn the glossy card stock into a unique background for your card.
The peacock stamp from the Very Thankful set was inked up with four different markers, then stamped onto the Whisper White oval with the help of my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. The flower was white embossed on Taken with Teal card stock and cut out by hand. A pretty designer button and some organza ribbon finish off the card.
Thanks for stopping by!
