The technique I am sharing today is using a brayer to add ink to an embossing folder.  I am using the

• Card base is Kat Scrappiness  Mini Slimline Card set, which measures 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2”.
• Top layer is cut using the Kat Scrappiness Double Stitched Mini Slimline Dies.

• Open the embossing folder and apply ink to the brayer.
• Brayer ink on the inside front of the embossing folder (the raised part).
• Insert white cardstock in the folder, close and run through die cutting machine.
• Add embossed layer to the card.
• Die cut "Happy Anniversary" word die with shadow in black cardstock and the shadow with vellum.
• Finished the card off by using the KS Crystal AB  Rhinestone Mix.

• Open the embossing folder and apply ink to the brayer.
• Brayer ink on the inside back side of the embossing folder (the debossed side).
• Insert white cardstock in the folder, close and run it through your die cutting machine.
• Add embossed layer to the card.
• Die cut "Thinking of You" word die with shadow in black cardstock and the shadow with vellum.
• Finished the card off by using the KS Deep Emerald Rhinestone Mix.

I love how these cards turned out, they would make a nice gift set of four, for someone special.
