Hello Nomad friends. My man insisted we went ice fishing today. I am not converted. I feel my time would have been better spent in my craft room. The sun was nice. Walking on water was novel, if a little intimidating. It was cold!!!!!! We didn't get any fish! Hmmmmm.... But when I got home there was happy mail from the UK and I couldn't wait to play with this fun Santa embossing folder.
I'm sharing a few techniques for embossing folders over at Let's Squash It! today and I decided to include this one on stretching your folders.
I embossed this 10x15cm Father Christmas folder by Craft Stash on a 10 x 20cm piece of card.
Using an embossing tool I extended the lines on the RHS, scoring the ones along the bottom of the wall and the vertical wallpaper lines. Then I used a black archival ink pad to highlight the embossed lines. I got some ink on the un-embossed floor so I smeared a few more lines on there to even out the over inking. Then I coloured with Promarkers and watercoloured with distress inks.
I mounted the embossed coloured panel on a DL base card and added some glitter to Santa's fur trim.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

What a fun scene, Gail - such a great embossing folder to have!! Sorry you didn't enjoy ice fish - not my cup of tea either but a lot of people love it here in Minnesota.
What a fun way to use that EF and to extend it! I tried to extend a folder earlier and failed miserably! Better luck with attempt #2, I hope. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart, Jo x
