Hello, my friends! I was very happy to add a few of the new goodies from Penny Black's Round II Christmas release. Here are the products I used for today's cards:
3D Berries Abound embossing folder
3D Berries Abound cutting die
3D Berries Abound coloring stencils
I die-cut these 3D Berries from watercolor cardstock,
then embossed the image before stenciling.
I was happy to get a pretty good monoprint from the leafy stencil layer:
It doesn't make a huge impact, but at least I didn't waste that ink
and I get to play with the wonderful Group of Seven!
This sentiment is one of many from PB's Joy & Warmth set...
here's another...
And my second card was inspired by the view outside my window!
I'm quite sure this is the very first time I've peeled/rolled the edge of my watercolor cardstock as Jill Foster often does - this decision was made AFTER the card was finished - can you imagine how nervous I was??
Before I cleaned up, I just HAD to emboss one in all pure white... doesn't it
look like plasterwork?
My heavy white cardstock was spritzed quite well with water before
embossing. I decided I liked the curve of the warping!
A Betterpress-ed sentiment from my stash, and my playtime came to an end.
But don't worry - there were a few more items in that order! wink.

Wow, beautiful cards. Love the deep texture of the embossing, especially on the all-white card. Glad you were able to get your monoprint from the stenciling as it is lovely too.
These are just STUNNING cards Michele! The ink blending/stenciling is beautiful and I just love the depth & dimension you get from the embossing folder! I even like the curled up edges!! A trio of loveliness my friend!! Hugs. :0)
