Inspired by Natasha - using an embossing folder a bit differently.

Over the weekend I caught up on some video from Natasha.  Her You Tube channel can be found here.  Her video from Saturday was what inspired me.   It was about changing how you use your embossing folders.   

Here's my take on her card 

I used some dark kraft card and cut 1 inch squares.  I then added them to some lightweight card at an angle pattern.  I then added ran it through an embossing folder.  This one was Gina K Tapestry folder.  The different way to use a folder involved Altenew's Hello Beautiful craft your life kit - I embossed the folder with white card and fussy cut out the two flowers.  I then used Distress Oxides to colour the flowers before adding to the background panel.  The sentiment is from Altenew Build a Garden, Grand Carnation stamp and die.  I added some silver sequins to finish.  

I will be trying this technique again as I loved the idea of getting more out of the embossing folders.
