For today's what to use challenge, we were to use the faux letterpress technique with our embossing folders. I used Birds and Swirls. I inked the pattern with Pear Tart from Memento and then ran the white cardstock panel through my Cuttlebug. I inked the edges wit old paper and walnut stain distress inks. I used a red copic marker to go back and add red to the berries on the swirls.
The sentiment is stamped in black and from the Verve set, Santa's Helper. I inked the edges of the sentiment frame with the same distress inks as above. I added some twine from The Twinery!
TFL!

Lovely job with your faux letterpress technique. And the baker's twine looks great on this!
