On Day 3 of the Extraordinary Embossing Folders, Laura Basson walked us through using an embossing folder that comes with an accompanying die. I recently purchased two of these embossing folders from Simon Says and put the Party Candles to work over the weekend.
There are lots of possibilities for using this folder, and I'm glad to have something that will work for both kids and adults. I die cut a group of the candles and ink blended them in bright colors for the Just Add Ink Challenge: Choose Two: Balloons, Bright Colors, and Birthday. The sentiment was already die cut from green glitter paper and filed with the Pinwheel Party dies from The Greetery. I backed it with vellum before adding it to the front. The die cut candles were then arranged over the embossed candles from the folder. I have to say the vellum looks much heavier and less transparent than it does in real life.
The card didn't need much embellishment but I added some of Honey Bee's Aurora Borealis gems which catch the light and really sparkle.
The challenge at Just Add Ink is ending tomorrow so I'm making this the second post of the day, so I won't forget to get it linked up in time.
