Cards from Yesterday's Technique Class

Hi everyone. I wanted to share with you the cards I had my gals do in my technique class yesterday. First up, I showed my gals how to distress embossed images.

For this card I was inspired by this card here. I changed up the ribbon to use the new satin ribbon in the Occasions Mini catalog and used the Urban Oasis designer series paper, but the idea is the same. To do this, all you need to do is lightly sand the ridges of your embossing image with a sanding block. Super easy! Don't you just love the new Manhattan Flower Impressions Die?

Ingredients:

• Oval All stamp set
• Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches
• Whisper White and Baja Breeze card stock
• Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper
• Basic Grey and Baja Breeze ink
