Today's WT challenge was Faux Letterpress, which apparently is the same as the "inking up a Cuttlebug folder" technique, which I have finally mastered. I made this desktop calendar box using a Technique Junkie Newsletter tutorial, inking up my Sizzix Bricked embossing folder. The sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers set Brick Wall.

This was just where I had got to when DH distracted me. Wow, Lois - fabulous and then some. Some lucky person is going to just love this!!
I personally think letterpress is desbossed and the reverse negative is embossed, but I could be wrong on that one. Whatever you've done, you've certainly mastered it .
