Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It. It's our Fill in the Blank challenge and we're asking you to tell us about your favourite Embossing Folder.
This is a tricky thing for me because I love embossing folders. I use them all the time. I choose to use them over patterned paper almost always. So asking me for my favourite embossing folder is a bit like asking me which is my favourite child... I love them all! Over the years, my favourites have been the Subtle folder, Exposed Brick and Softly Falling.
Of current folders, my favourite changes pretty much daily. The new Floral Spray is awesome but the one I keep coming back to is Lazy Daisy, so that's what I've used today.
To add a bit of interest, I embossed a piece of Basic White, then tore one edge of it before attaching it to the card front.
I've used my latest acquisition, Garden Gatherings for the flowers. I cut two vases from scraps of Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP. The squat one, I ran through the Lazy Daisy folder to give it some patterning.
The flower stems were stamped in Pretty Peacock. The flowers were stamped in Flirty Flamingo, daubed with touches of Melon Mambo. The front vase and flowers are popped up on dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the same set and is cut using a banner die from Stylish Shapes. I finished off with a trio of dots from Array of Dots.
The team and I would love to see what you do with your favourite embossing folder for this challenge.
You can see what the rest of the Design Team have done, and link up your entry, on the As You See It page. The team and I are all keen to see how you see it!
