Twins

 A pair of cards for my favorite set of twins in the world.  I gave a new embossing folder a try through the machine and it was just sitting on my work table waiting for something to happen.   It sat there for almost a week when I finally reached for it.  I used my dauber and a stack of Tim Holtz distressed inks hit them hard using Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint, Orange Marmalade, Vintage Photo and Broken China.   The sentiment is on velum paper using black embossing powder.  I tried a black ink with clear powder but it didn't bring out the image dark enough to stand out on it's own.  I added sequins to various centers of the folder image.  Edged with distressed inks (raspberry for one, marmalade for the other) and attached onto cream card bases.
 Each are just a little different but yet the same - both here and in true to life.  These will head out in the mailpost next weekend for the birthday celebrations.  


This is a close up of one of them.  I really love the way that they turned out.  I'm looking forward to lots of fun with this embossing folder.
