Straight out of the 2022 Mini-Catalog — page 8 — features this inking technique using the GINGHAM Embossing Folder to create the perfect background! I love the BFF — best friends forever– sentiment offered as part of the SWEET CONVERSATIONS BUNDLE. I think this bundle offers lots of options for creating cards that are perfect for Valentine’s but would also be great for a Birthday card. I’m mean — we all have those people that we’re “happy to have in “our” life”!

More Ideas….

I die cut several extra pieces and put this card together using the same format as the featured project. The inked background was NOT as neat as the one demonstrated below since it was an early effort — but pretty just the same. I have to be “kind” with myself because so often I can expect perfection. : )
