Diecut Divas September Challenge - New Things

It's the first day of September and of course that means a whole new challenge over at Diecut Divas. This month we want you to try something new, that could be a new card fold, a new image, a new die or a new technique, we are giving you the perfect excuse to play!!!. So for my first card we have a Bugaboo image called Beautiful Fairy which is new to me.



I have also chosen a card fold new to me, I am calling it 
"a cut a way" card fold - by the way if anyone knows the official name of this fold please let me know.


I also saw a technique online recently called double embossing which is below, a new technique I have tried.



Card Tip:

Double Embossing:
Step 1: Use an anti static device on your cardstock.
Step 2:grab an embossing folder you would like to use, it can have an all over impression or a selected one like mine.
Step 3: Find the recessed side (the side where the embossing doesn't stick out) Colour in the recessed areas with your Versamark Pen.
Step 4: carefully line up your piece of card stock on the other side of the embossing folder making sure the ink does not touch the card stock until you have closed the embossing folder.
Step 5: Run through your die machine as recommended.
Step 6: Remove from embossing folder and sprinkle over clear embossing powder and heat set.
