Use your Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder at a Stamp Technique

I hope you have got your weekend off to a good start,

We are being kept busy, with lots of giggles as our new puppy, Bentley settles into our family

Today's card brings you a new way to use your Embossing Folders

This technique, uses the embossing folder as a stamp.

It does stain the embossing folder, so be prepared. I clean mine with Stampin Mist

I have seen various cards using this technique, but haven't seen any that sponge the the background before using the Embossing Folder as a stamp

Although I suspect I am not the first person to come up with this idea.

I made various prototypes of this card, some with sponging, and others without. I also used a sponge dauber to add colour to the trees, and other ideas, but this is the design I settled on as it just seemed to work as I wanted.
