I had a friend spend Easter dinner with us and before dinner we had some time to 'play' in the craft room. One of the things we 'played' with was the Country Rose embossing folder. I am embarrassed to admit that I had not even opened the package, so tonight was experimenting time as well.
After embossing this folder the usual way, I began to use some techniques I had used on the Woodlands Embossing Folder. One of these was applying Versa Mark directly onto the Folder (one the side with the Stampin' Up logo), adding Whisper White card stock, running it through the Big Shot, then adding gold embossing powder to the embossed piece.
The result was stunning! So made this wedding card.....
Close Up of Embossed Folder
Anything shiny is hard to photograph, and this card was no exception.
1 1/2" was trimmed off the bottom of the gold embossed piece, and some gold foil embossed with the corrugated embossing folder was adhered to the bottom until the front measured 5 ". This was layered onto a Whisper White layer and a gold rimmed Very Vanilla ribbon was added around the seam. The sentiment, stamped in Granite Gray ink, is from "Floral Phrases" and was die cut using the Stitched Framelits . It was adhered over the ribbon using dimensionals. This layer was added to a Crumb Cake top fold card base.
