Hello Nomad friends. It's the 10th of the month so time for the new challenge at Let's Squash It! This month we have come up with a fun three part recipe and called it Grasshopper Green! We want you to use lots of green, include an insect and of course use an embossing folder. Any embossing folder along with your insect and green and you are good to go. We have lovely inspiration from Jo and our wonderful guest so do hop over and check it out and join the fun. I used Gemini 3D Butterfly Effect embossing folder.
These 3D folders are quite fat and I found leaving one of the cutting plates out from my Bigshot sandwich worked perfectly. I used a piece of designer paper from Kort og Godt that has a fine green grid printed on it. I smeared my folder with green distress ink before embossing and gave it a gentle spritz with water after to soften the colour a little. I decided that when your embossing folder is as pretty as this one then it doesn't need much more, so I just added a Stamplorations die cut thanks using some blue and coral card I had on my desk from last night and mounted the panel on a green base card.
Thanks for dropping by. You have until the end of the month to join the fun at Let's Squash It! and Jo and I will be back with more inspiration later in the month. I might even try and find a grasshopper LOL. Hugz.
