hi there,
Here is my card for the F4A today; Lucky to have Tutorials. As most of you already know, one of my favourite techniques is the Embossing Folder Stamping Technique seen here: Embossing Folder Stamping Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers
I inked the inside of my embossing folder with Distress inks, sprayed with water and pressed my paper into the wet ink. I then stamped my flowers, sentiment and added a border to pull it all together.
thanks for looking,

Edited: sorry...my card is to represent the fields in Ireland with the blowing flowers on the hills. Inside will say Happy St. Patty's Day.

COOL!!! I've seen embossing folder inking before, but not with distress inks and spritzing with water--I really like the soft effect, and then how you've inked the flowers in a stronger shade really adds such interest and balances out this card. Love it!!!

Karen, the background created is fantastic - beautiful colors and such a soft effect behind the silhouette. Lovely sentiment! Wonderful card!
