Used a technique new to me from 2011 Online Summer Card Class. Technique is to ink an embossing folder (female side which is the side with the word Cuttlebug or Sizzix on it) and then place paper inside embossing folder to emboss. The ink is transferred to the paper surrounding the raised edges. You can also ink the male side for a debossed look.
Entering this into following challenges:

ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! Well done! You are doing so great with these challenges! Love seeing your progress!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love the embossing technique. Thanks for playing along with us at BBTB2.
ReplyDeletety everyone, thanks for noticing my progress. Having fun & learning so much. Like exploring all the different cuts on the cartridges, when using the embossing technique the ink washes right off the embossing folder, but would not use Versamark or Staz On inks
ReplyDeleteLove your card Melissa, such a cutie. So frustrated with blogger at the moment, insists on changing the colour of my phots. Will keep trying.
ReplyDeleteThis is one darling card. So glad you entered it in our BBTB2 penguin challenge.

Okay, this card is ADORABLE! I love penguins and the embossing is perfect! Thanks for your sweet comments. I wanted to answer your questions that you left. The orange ink is actually Tsukineko Kaleidacolor Ink Pad (they come in various rainbows of colors and stamp beautifully). I've had mine for years and they still are nice and juicy. I LOVE them. I was on a trial group for the Action Wobbles before they came out on the market but I also have bought some because I love them so much. They were bought straight off their website at http://actionwobble.com/ (I believe they are only selling them through Amazon.com right now. Anyway, I hope that answers your questions. Thanks again!!! Hugs- Glora

Aww wwhat a cute card. Love the penguin! Thanks so much for joining us at Christmas Card Challenges!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable and gorgeous at the same time! I LOVE the inked embossing. Thank you so much for giving the directions too. I've never heard of a folder having male and female parts. That's too funny - but an easy way to remember which side to use!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along at My Craft Spot!
