Whoosh! And just like THAT summer is just about over! Sheesh! So happy that I got a new box of goodies over the weekend so I could play with them for this week’s Monday Montage!
I was looking back through some old photos and came across a technique I did on a card YEARS ago … which inspired me on this card! I didn’t use the same technique, but I kinda made up a new one myself!
Stick with me here … first, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder. I then inked up the Leaf Collection background stamp with Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly and Pumpkin Pie. Next, I placed the piece of Basic White (with the 3D Eyelet embossing) face down onto the stamp. I then carefully held the cardstock down while I used my brayer to press the cardstock into the stamp. With me so far?
Finally, after lifting up the Basic White cardstock piece I could see that the pattern from the 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder was evident on the inked background stamp, so I placed a clean piece of Basic White cardstock down onto the stamp and used the brayer again to transfer the ink. Get it?? So the pattern from the embossing folder shows up in the stamped image! Pretty cool, right??
Here is a closeup view of the effect. I really like how it turned out!
I made two pockets using the Pocket Thoughts Dies … one in Granny Apple Green, which I embossed with the 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder, and one from the stamped piece that I did earlier. I made inserts for each of the pockets as well. They can both be written on, as well as the inside of the card!
Used my favorite White 3/8” Grosgrain Frayed Ribbon to make a bow. Oh! And I also used the Keeping Tabs Bundle to create the sentiment … I love it!
