Hi everyone. It's time for the next IDEAS Challenge with Darnell. This week is "E for Embossing Folders".
I used an embossing folder (Blossom - Crafts-Too) that was gifted from a friend, embossing a white background panel. This was it's first outing. I love the sweet floral design - perfect for spring cards. I also used a circle die (Butterfly Frond - Memory Box - retired) that I won from a challenge - another first time being used. :) I cut the top layer of the circle die with mixed media paper and then watercoloured the fronds and butterfly with Distress Inks (Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Salvage Patina, Mermaid Lagoon). I layered another circle die-cut from white card to add some depth.A simple sentiment (Happy Messages - Stampendous) was stamped in white pigment ink onto black card stock and then heat embossed in white. I adhered it to the bottom of the circle die and cut off any excess black card.

Since I have used two NBUS (never-before-used schtuff), I'm sending the above card to NBUS Challenge #60.
... and I'm sending this to Can You Handle the Pressure? Mar.9 Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
