From the time that I first looked at the 2013-14 Annual Catalog, I was intrigued by the card on page 22 of the catalog. Finally, I had time to try it.
The secret to this card is using the brayer to apply ink to the Chevron Embossing Folder. Be sure to apply it to the side of the folder that has sizzix printed on it. Then run it through the Big Shot like normal. Also, begin with a larger piece of cardstock than you want at the end. I trimmed mine to size after I took it out of the Big Shot.
The Four You stamp set has some nice sentiments with good fonts. I can't wait to try some of the other sentiments in that set.
It is simple card that I think packs a punch. It is bright and eye catching. If you try this technique, please share your creation.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,
Ginger

Ging- I am going to try this card! I envision using this design with the new colors and different sayings!! Oh the experimentation that I will do!! See what you have started!!
I must make some time to try the brayer on my embossing folders. I can think of a few ideas to do–now to put them into action. Love this idea.
