Make A Wish

The challenge at As You Like It Challenge this fortnight is to showcase your favourite embossing folder.

This Embossalicious floral embossing folder is definitely my favourite for a couple of reasons. Firstly the design is perfect for lots of occasions but it's also 6" square, which means it's the perfect size to cover my card blanks perfectly without the getting join marks which I get with my 5 x 7 folders.

I've also inked the raised bits using a pale blue mini ink pad to bring out the design of it and love the effect. The brad says 'make a wish' and I thought it went quite well with the cupcake theme (I just need a candle on that cupcake to blow out and make the wish!).

What a cutie! He's beautifully coloured Annette.

Just a thought but if you can get 8x8 folders in the design you want, they would work for 6" square cards & the 5x7. But I'm sure you'd thought of that already! xx

I really don't use embossing folders enough, although I do only have a few. The one you used is so pretty and the inking gives a beautiful finish.
I have to admit that much as I love the embossing and the cute image, my fave bit is that little brad - sooooo cute, and I have a real thing for tiny cute things like that!

Big hugs, Kat xx
