Best Wishes

Best wishes in blue and yellow.  The Simon Says Monday Challenge - Use Your Favorite Tool seemed like a good time to make a card with an embossing folder and watercolors.  Not sure how others do this, but I stamped one side of the embossing folder (covered with various shapes of gears) with dark blue ink around the outer edges and yellow ink in the center area.  Then I spritzed water on the inked folder.  I had too much water in a couple spots so I dabbed these spots with a tissue to pick up some of the water.  Then I placed a piece of white card stock in the folder and ran it through my Big Shot.

Then I repeated the process so I could cut the smaller panel.  I edged the yellow panel and smaller gear panel with yellow ink before I wrapped them with blue twine and added the 'best wishes' tag. 

I really enjoy using embossing folders with my Big Shot. The Big Shot is my favorite tool as I can emboss plus make die cuts. 

 

I like how this card turned out and will make a couple more in other colors.  We have a few birthdays coming up in March and I think the men will enjoy these cards.

Have a great weekend,

Kathy
