Cardinal with Bow

Using one of my favorite techniques again... .  I rubbed white ink across an embossing folder.  It covers it with a light frosting of ink.  It kind of looks like snow.   The little cardinal is from My Favorite Things.  He has a little buddy that I put on another card that I put on a card that I will share tomorrow.

 Hey friends, 

Stencils have changed card making.  No doubt about it.  This is a new combination for me.  This is a set from Taylored Expressions.  You do all the stenciling first.  Then the last stencil you use a gel that when dry sticks to foil.  It adds just the right amount of shine to the card.  I love finished look!   The veins were added to the leaves with little stamps. TE thinks of everything.  I'm going to make more of these for sure!!

Embossed White Flowers

Hello friends, 

This might be my new favorite technique.  Okay it is old, but with the new 3D embossing folders it is new.  They add a ton more interest to this look than the old 2D folders.   It is super simple to do.  You first emboss a piece of card stock.  Then LIGHTLY drag a white (or whatever color you like) stamp pad over your embossing.  Just the highest raised levels will pick up the color just giving it a whole new look.  

I finished this card off with a splash of florals.
