A Cut Above, Day 7

Day seven is the last of the lessons using traditional die cutting (and embossing) machines. The challenge? Clever dry embossing.

I used the back of a thin die to create a frame for the flowers and sentiment.


The flowers were colored with my six new distress markers. I'm glad I picked up two blues, two reds, and two greens! I think with practice, I may get the hang of coloring on stamps!
