Monthly Card Swaps - Something New with Something Old

Hope you are creatively inspired by today's cards from my monthly Swap. These cards were designed by talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators where the theme was 'Something New with Something Old'... something from the new catalog and something from the previous catalogs.

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.
