Love the inked embossed card. Could you put a little repositional adhesive on the back of the paper and stick it to the top of the cuttlebug embossing folder? This way it would not slip around.
ReplyDeleteI loved this technique so much that I used it this weekend to make some Hallloween cards. I used the Cuttlebug spider web folder. I love the effect!
ReplyDeleteLove this card you your tutorial. Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy inky folders never look this good, fabulous tutorial, thank you for sharing, not sure I would rip up Shakespeare though!
