TO - Making background with embossing folders

     Hello everyone,

We have a new challenge at Time out challenges- we want you to Make Your Own Background!

 Our sponsor  is STAMPlorations and the prize is a $25 Gift Certificate.

I chose to do my current obsession technique - Dry embossing for my background! For which I used the Rose embossing folder from Garden Rose Craft Your Life kit by Altenew.

I am a sucker for CAS cards but embossing folders have become my new obsession where I want to try different techniques. So when I saw the Altenew challenge I wanted to use that beautiful Coral Red for Roses and had great fun making this card.

I smooshed the Altenew inks in Coral Berry and Rubby Red for the Roses and Sunray, Caramel toffee and Paper bag for the leaves and spritzed mist of water and dry embossed. You can check my latest You tube tutorial video where I show some ideas for using your watercolors with embossing folders.

I also swinked with some brown inks on my Deck planks 3 D embossing folder and dry embossed it. I added a strip of gold mirror cardstock between the two dry embossed panels and Antique Gold Sequins 

to add a little more bling. Also I have lately been adding some beautiful texture on my envelopes and did the same here with the gorgeous rose embossing folder on a kraft envelope.

We have the very talented, Hannelie Bester of Desert Diva and winner of Challenge #217 as our Guest Designer for this challenge. Do not forget to check her creative background!

I love Dry embossing and have shared many creative ideas in my You tube tutorial

Lots of love ~ Ishani
