Over at Club Posh the members have been experimenting with their Cuttlebug embossing folders and wax paper. Previously, I had run the wax paper inside of an embossing folder, ironed it on top of glossy cardstock, added color then stamped the image. Today, I decided to try Vada's technique published in the April 2008 issue of Technique Junkies. She stamped her image first on the cardstock and then ironed the wax paper over the stamped design.
For the above card, I used a Helen Briel texture plate in place of an embossing folder and ran it through my Wizard with the wax paper. However, after ironing the wax paper on top of the card and using my brayer to add color, I decided the gingko leaf got lost in the background. Thus, I bleached out some of the color and used transparent watercolors to highlight the leaf.
I have one last experiment using embossing folders; however, it is going on top of another project so I'll wait and share it when my project gets completed.
