I tried the EB Folder Inking Technique. Sponge ink on the top of your folder and then spritz with water. Then place your CS over the wet puddles of ink and then remove your CS and you get a cool watercolored effect. I did mask my CS, but you would not have too. Just keeping mine more CAS.
I stamped my flowers because I do not have a poppy die. I then stamped the DSP and fussy cut the flowers to add dimension. There are 2 layers on each flower for more dimension.
The XOXO die cut sentiment has 4 layers for dimension.

WOW, Nancy this is so very cool! This technique done with the dots EF is like looking at the negative of a dot stencil - how fun! I thought your flowers were a die cut until I read your comments - what wonderful dimension you achieved with the fussy cutting! Thanks for mentioning that you masked this - good to remember when I try this technique. Thank you so much for your sweet comments and compliments and for CASEing my card with such a fantastic twist!

Really cool how you used your eb folder as a stencil ... love the watercolored look. Your layered flowers are so pretty. Beautiful CASE of Priscilla's card and a wonderful way to honor her.

So pretty, Nancy! Love you colors and the background technique. For me, I think having done the masking was a good idea. Looks so nice and clean this way.

This turned out great! You did a super job with the embossing folder technique. I tried the same technique today for the first time. Love how the flowers stand out on your card too!

Nancy, this is gorgeous! Love the way your background turned out. I'm really eager to try that technique. Your stamped flowers look perfect. A great CASE of Priscilla's card.
