Oh boy, do I have stuff. I am afraid to count my embossing folders and as I was searching through them, the other day, I found this lost gem. Bamboo, by Darice. Yes I have Asian stamps to use with it. I also have that whole collection of unmounted stamps in my stash. I have no clue who made this fortune cookie or sentiment, but they are in my stuff! These were stamped and fussy cut, then popped up. I used a brown Distress ink directly on the folder, ran it through, and then outlined the leaves with a Copic marker. I then decided it needed a little shine so I swiped the surface for accents of Brilliance, Galaxy Gold ink.
I would like to enter this card at Use Your Stuff Challenge #255 which is Dry Embossing Machine or Hand.
Here is hoping that everyone is dug out and travel is becoming less stressful. Thanks for the visit!

This is a beautiful card, Mary Anne! I so love that Bamboo embossed background and how you highlighted in with ink! Those fortune cookies are awesome! I love how you popped the leaves up with color and the gold shimmer you added. I bet this is very pretty in real life! TFS and have a great day! I think we are dug out here but since we live kinda on the outskirts of Red Lion there is alot of roads being closed due to drifting/blowing snow. Yesterday was bad with those crazy winds! Stay warm & safe! Hugs~
Yes, you do have some great embossing folders - this being one of them! I love the Chinese fortune cookies and hugs proverb. That gold brilliance ink really put a shine on this fun card! NJ!
By inking the embossing folder you really get a lot of depth on the bamboo in the background - and it's striking! So pretty and love the fortune cookies too.
You need to move Mary Anne - then you'd find things like this you never ever knew you even had. LOL! Love your card and glad you found the embossing folder!

Mary Anne,
I know I say this a lot..... You have the most interesting and diverse collection of STUFF I've ever seen and you master them all. That embossing folder is beautiful the way treated it.
Your technique of pre inking is fabulous as it gives your image so much depth. Thanks for joining us at UYS
