Being the frugal gal I am, the first place I go when starting a new card is my scrap file. It isn't too large, because I am always using them. Since I love green so much, the scraps were pretty slim. In my neutral pile along with the Kraft/Crumb Cake was a piece of vellum. That got me thinking about embossing the vellum. I had done it before, with mixed results. I wondered what it would look like with the new Square Tile Embossing Folder. That's what this entire card is built around.
Now I have to mention. I just got my Watercolor Trio. I owe it all to Silke. She has used this set so beautifully I just had to buy it! After just one use, I am so glad I did! It's wonderful! The sentiments are so elegant and the bonus? They all fit inside the large oval punch! I didn't use it with this card, but I was curious and sure enough, they fit!
So, how about the rest of the Crew? What will they create?
