Hi friends! I hope you are having a great day! Splitcoaststampers loved a card I made about a year ago and put me in the que for a tutorial. Maybe you remember it? I'll give you a little back ground for what happened. I saw this pretty embossing folder from Cuttlebug and just fell in love with it. The thing was that I just couldn't bring myself to cover up that gorgeous bird in the middle of all those pretty blooms. So how to make the embossing the focal point of my card? I played around with lots of different ideas - and finally settled on using distress ink with some paper stumps. My friends as Splitcoast thought it was interesting and unique and asked me to do a tutorial there.
This was the original card I made a year ago. But whenever Splitcoaststampers adds a tutorial to their library they ask members to join in and try the technique. I thought I'd play along because it was lots of fun and well yes... I am very excited to be included with some of my crafty heros that have tutorials there.
I thought this bamboo embossing folder would look pretty using the "Colored Dry Embossing" technique.
I hope you will give it a try as well - you can see the tutorial and play along with us here at Splitcoaststampers.

What gorgeous cards and I LOVE that technique! I'll be keeping this in my que for future use!
I remember that gorgeous bird Jeanne...you chose another great embossing folder for this technique...can't wait to hop over and check out your tutorial!
I think the bird is stunning and really stands out beautifully against the pretty flowers. However, I love the simplicity of the bamboo card - great sentiment too.
I'll pop over and check out the tutorial!!
This is SO neat! I was so excited when I saw your name as the author of this tutorial on Splitcoast. You are amazing, Jeanne! (PS I've loved your Waltzingmouse previews this week, too...you make those stamps look very enticing!)
