Hello everyone! I'm happy to share my first fall card of the (almost) season. We still have a few days of summer left so I'm not letting it go yet, but I do love fall cards.
I've had this Spellbinders Mushrooms From Me To You 3D emboss & cut folder for approximately a year. I bought the Scallop Labels and Tag dies at the same time and have used them quite a lot, but this is the first time for the mushrooms. I don't have a good excuse for why I waited so long. It's so cool how it works! The dies go right into the folder with the paper so it literally cuts and embosses at the same time. I guess I was under a rock again because I did not expect that.
So this is my result after simultaneously cutting and embossing, then "painting" with Tombow markers and blender, and embossing again just for good measure. After all that I decided to smoosh it all over with Versamark ink and emboss with ultra-thick embossing enamel. Loved it. Slipped it into the folder and embossed again.
I embossed the entire folded grocer's kraft card base with my Tim Holtz Lumber 3D embossing folder. Lined the inside with vanilla cardstock and will save the sentiment for later.
With all this embossing going on I naturally want to share in the Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge. It's plain to see I did not go with the optional "Balloons" twist.
I'm also sharing in the following challenges:

Thanks so much for visiting. It's been busy as ever here, especially now that Ridley has joined the family. Two Golden Retrievers are definitely better than one! Have a happy day!
