Embossing folder play

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by.

Today I got this lovely embossing folder in the mail. I'm on a SERIOUS spending freeze so this was a fun departure from that. This is the Spellbinders Beautiful Blooms folder. It is quite large at 5 3/4 x 8 3/4. Perfect for the larger slimline cards that are so popular.


I decided to just play with all kinds of things with this. I really didn't keep track of what I was doing as I was just experimenting. I know I used photo paper on the brown one, and some Distress Oxide inks, and rubbed on some copper-colored rub on pigments.

The purple and green card was a mixed media paper that had been previously gel pressed with a very light blue Oxide ink.
I gently brushed over the embossed panel with Distress Ink and rubbed on a bit of gold.

The jury is still out.  I might need a bit more practice with this. What say you?
