Today I am showing you a card which I have made with the Cuttlebug Brocade Embossing plus folder. It is the first time I have used one of these, and although I found it rather big, it embossed beautifully, and the flap they have so that you can sponge colour on it while still in the folder, is such a great idea.
I used the de-bossed side and sponged it with some Tim Holtz spun sugar ink.
The Lily and leaves were made with the Cheery Lynn Build a flower #3. I made a quilled stamen in the centre. The colouring I did with watercolour pencils as I felt I had more control of how dark it got. The flourishes are the Elegant Scrollwork Die 98153 by Memory box. On top of those are the Marianne Creatables 3 Leaves die LR0192.
The sentiment is done with the Cheery Lynn Best Wishes phrases die B244.
Finally a pink organza bow at the top
