I love how you can use products multiple ways. Embossing folders are great for adding texture to your projects, the true purpose of them. Did you know you can add color to your embossing folders? In this post & video, I will show you how to sponge your embossing folders to create a two-tone effect. You can do this with almost, if not all of your folders. Today’s project focuses on the Woodland Embossing folder. Think about how you can adapt this technique to other folders as well.
My Club met last week and I always try to show them at least one new technique at each meeting. Fall is here and Winter is approaching, so I thought of a masculine card that alludes to a little bit of snow. Watch the video to see how I got this two-tone effect with the Woodland Embossing folder. I will list all supplies I used under the video.
