I used a spellbinders embossing folder, but the white core of my paper showed through. So I inked the paper in Cranberry, and problem solved! I love how it brings out the embossing even more. The oval shapes and the poinsettias were cut with the Artiste Cricut cartridge. I had the same white core problem with my flowers, so I inked them up as well. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the final project!
Come play along with us this week at 52{C}CT!

Thank you for your vote of confidence, Mynnette! I'd love to, but my plate is SO full right now! Maybe next time!
DeleteI agree with Mynnette - this is a very elegant card! I too love the embossing and the beautiful flowers. Very smart to use the ink to go over where the white was showing through. Never would have guessed if you hadn't confessed :o) Hugs D
