Medallion Birthday
This gorgeous embossing folder and medallion stamp set came free with a magazine the other week, so I had a play with it today. I inked up the folder with Pick(l)ed Raspberry and Mustard Seed Distress Inks, spritzed and took a print, then stamped the medallion on gold card using Versafine Onyx Black. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations.
I've used the colours from Colour Me...! - I love this combination. I seem to have got over my allergy to pink ;)
I'm also entering it into Simon Says Monday Challenge, Summer. These colours are just so summery!

I have to say I saw this embossing folder on a magazine and wasn't sure what it would look like but it looks great, especially in those lovely spicy colours. Perhaps when I next go shopping it might fall into my basket ..lol. x
ReplyDeleteMy oh my! What a fabulous card and so, so perfect for a birthday greeting. I love the way you colored it, so festive.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteGreat effect! Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteYou may find this strange to believe but I picked this magazine up yesterday and also created some backgrounds by inking it up before embossing! - the difference was my attempts weren't as successful as yours! My attempts have gone into the "might come in handy one day" pile!

ReplyDeleteI love your colourful dry embossed print background and the co-ordinating popped up elements - great use of this week's challenge colours. Thanks for joining us over at Colour Me...! this week.
ReplyDeleteI really need to try this technique ... perhaps I can acquire a smidgy bit of your skill by a process of osmosis! Stunning, Shirley! Anita :)

Wow, I like your mags! That is such a cool folder. And I'm glad you've found a place in your heart for pink. It rocks yellow and orange. And green. And purple. And black.
ReplyDeleteLove those beautiful colors on the embossed BG !
