Pretty Flowers 3D Embossing Folder with Pool Party


I used the new Pretty Flowers 3D Embossing Folder to create this pretty monochromatic card.  I rubbed the Versamark Ink Pad on the inside of the folder and then added the Pool Party Cardstock and ran it through the embossing machine.  By rubbing the Versamark Ink Pad on the folder, it gives the embossed image more depth.

Details:
  • Pool Party Cardstock card base:  4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2"
  • Pool Party Cardstock layer:  5" x 3-3/4" - embossed with Pretty Flowers 3D Embossing Folder
  • The "I'm Thinking of You" sentiment is from the Art Gallery Stamp Set - stamped in Versamark on Black Cardstock and then embossed with White Embossing Powder
