Bloom

For this post and the next one, I’ve used two elements from the same embossing folder: the frame for today, and the center panel for my next post on Monday . . .

After die cutting the frame and panel, I inked the concave side of the embossing folder by dragging the ink pad over the surface, inserting the cardstock, and running it through my die cutting machine.  After repeating this three times, I got the aged look I was after.

I brayered the edges of the card front with the same ink to match.  Then I assembled various elements from The Greetery’s Rosemal collection and added them to the card.

 

A major part of the fun in working with this multi-die collection is playing around with the countless ways the various elements can be put together.  I really don’t think there’s a limit!
