Embossing Folder Stamping

     This is such a fun, easy, but beautiful technique-embossing folder stamping.  I played around with both inks and acrylic paints today.
The first card is very flat and mailable.....the second not so much!

This one uses Tim Holtz Distress Inks along with Midnight Muse. I pressed the ink pads (have the TH spots) directly onto the ef before spritzing liberally with water.Stamps: Verve-Prov 16:9 Paper: Bermuda Bay, Watercolor Paper Paper Size: A2Ink: Midnight Muse, Distress Inks: Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Fired Brick, Peacock Feathers, Seedless Preserves, Spiced Marmalade Accessories: The Paper Studio Arrows ef, Stampamajig, Spritzer Techniques: Embossing Folder Stamping

For this one I inked a script ef with acrylic paint daubers and pressed the front of my card into the ef after misting with water. I thought the colors looked kind of beachy, so I made a collage with some natural items and beach glass.
