Nature's Beauty
The second technique we worked with last Thursday at Technique/Stamp Club was a stamped embossing folder. I have seen this technique used with many different stamp sets, but I chose to use the deer from Nature's Beauty. Deer are certainly beautiful when they are in the woods or fields, not so much on roads!!
I wanted a subtle blue color for the background so I tried the Balmy Blue ink pad and realized it was way to bright and intense for the look I wanted. I then tried the Balmy Blue ink with our sponge brayers and was amazed at the difference it made. It was the exact blue I was looking for.

Hopefully things are back to normal at the Wilson household after a bout with a couple of kidney stones and an all day ER visit for John on Sunday. He is much more comfortable now and a couple of good nights of sleep have helped both of us tremendously. I'm a pretty patient hospital sitter, but towards the end even I was getting a little antsy.
Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!
Happy Stamping!!
