The base of this card was made by folding the front of the card and putting it in a Cuttlebug Tapestry folder that had been inked on both sides with Perfect Plum ink and a brayer. (The card opens up from the top.) Since the bottom portion is narrower than the top, I put a piece of scratch paper to prevent the back of the top part from getting ink on it. After it had been embossed, I used a Perfect Plum marker to draw over the fold line.
The main image is an Inkadinkadoo stamp colored with SU! markers, and the sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. I sponged with Mellow Moss around the edges of the image and sentiment, and both are matted with Perfect Plum and popped up with Pop Dots.
Thanks for looking!
