I'm back today to share a fun card I made for the Let's Squash it Challenge. The challenge is: Use a Christmas embossing folder and a stamp on your card.
I haven't had a great deal of success trying the technique of inking up an embossing folder but this afternoon I tried it with a piece of watercolour paper and some Eucalypts ink by Catherine Pooler, I used my brayer to add the ink to the folder and then gave my card a spritz of water before running it through my Cuttlebug. Best success so far! I trimmed the panel and added to some pearlised cream card. I used some more of the watercolour paper to stamped and gold emboss a Pointsetta stamp from a Penny Black set. I used Catherine Pooler Rockin' Red and Peppermint Scrub inks to do an artsy watercolour.

Gorgeous card Dawn and looks perfect using the water colour paper, love the background you created.
Just been playing with this same folder myself, Dawn! Looks great used like this. Love the poinsettia too. Thanks for playing at Let's Squash It! and don't forget you can still link up at CKC too as it's running for a few more days, Jo x
A great result Dawn, and well done on persevering with the technique!
Stay safe
