Hmm - embossing central for today's challenge. I don't have so many folders that lend themselves to being the focal point, so I nearly pulled out my old Shape Boss. But this Bird Call folder was a good way to use up a totally failed attempt to use Versamark yesterday.
I'd stamped a piece of card with Versamark and spritzed it with Glimmer Mist and got - pretty shimmery green card.
Using coloured embossing from TLC324 I coloured it with a green and black marker (plus orange for the beak) before embossing. I edged it with a gold leafing pen, and did the same with the base after sponging with Peeled Paint distress stain. Sorry I can't get the gold to show well - it's very windy outside today.
Sentiment stamped on white card with Encore Gold and embossed with gold EP, then cut with Fancy Tags. I spritzed it with what was left of my green glimmer mist and sponged it off just to add a little colour, then masked the centre and sponged the edges with Broken China. It's popped up on foam, and I added a drop of Liquid Pearls for the blackbird's eye - I love their yellow eyes.
With all that embossing and an ODBD stamp this is also an entry for the current Stamping in Time challenge to use embossing.
