Embossed Thanks

Here's another item that I've only used a few times.  I think embossing folders are the greatest thing since sliced bread - love the subtle dimension they can give us.

supplies: white, Hero Arts Carnation and 2 green layering papers, Crafter's Companion Floral Fusion 3D embossing folder, MFT Stitched Blooms and (retired) Thanks die, Hero Arts Nesting Rectangles die, pale green enamel dot

Starting with an A2 panel of Carnation layering paper, I cut out a rectangle from it, then reinserted it into it's frame and embossed them both together.  Since this layering paper is white core, I was then able to sand the panels to bring out the details.  Next I framed the inner rectangle in white, and lifted it above the rest of the design, and to finish added the flower and my die-cut sentiment.

This same recipe works just as nicely using an all-over stamped background, but I'm partial to this embossed one just because of the texture.

Thanks for stopping by today - hope you are coping well in these difficult times.
