Using this ef with homemade die cuts to create colored image and center embossed piece. Colored with ink pads smeared on glass mat spritzed with water and applied with a paint brush. Once dry I embossed them with the folder then a light rub of the black ink pad and then gave a shine by smearing surfaces with gloss gel medium. Added plaid strip and then dry embossed piece then gold strips to white cs base. Stamped sentiment in black ink and then glued on dry flower and swirls. Last thing was to add white dots on flower and berries with gel pen.
Thanks for sharing your time with me, now I am sharing this with:

Thanks Judy, I laughed at myself when I was finishing up because I am either adding dots or splatter. Not much deviation.
