Just Us Girls #575 - Trend Week

I'm the host for Trend Week at Just Us Girls and I've chosen to use an embossing folder. 


When I thought of this as a trend, I had in mind to color an embossing folder with ink and then transfer the color to my cardstock.  After several tries with not much success I went an entirely different way.  

I used a Gina Marie die to make a quilt and then a quilting folder on it.  Here's a close-up so you can see the 'stitching'.
I love a warm cozy quilt and thought the Altenew sentiment went well with this paper one.

I hope you'll give a try with different techniques using embossing folders but either way we'd love to see your card in the gallery.  Maybe the Design Team's cards will inspire you.  Take a look.
