Happy Birthday

How I love embossing folders!  There are hundreds of gorgeous designs out there and they are so low in price that you can afford to indulge yourself.    I also like being able to have a choice as to which side I use:  the embossed or you can turn it over to use the de-bossed side.  Of course, that means any text or numbers will be reversed, but any other design will work beautifully.

 For today’s card, I used the de-bossed side and traced the grooves with my Clear Star pen for some shimmer and sparkle, which the camera will undoubtedly eat as usual . . .

 

My next post on Thursday will show the exact same folder but with a completely different look and color scheme.  Y’all come back and check it out!
