Double challenge and a new technique!

I love trying new techniques, and when I saw this one described on the Cuttlebug challenge blog I knew I had to try it! It involves inking the inside of a Cuttlebug embossing folder, so that when you emboss the card, the non-embossed areas of the card take on the ink colour, and the embossed areas stay the colour of the base card. I've used the DeVine swirls folder with this technique for the four backing panels on this card. The ink pad was a Distress Ink in Tattered Rose, which I've also used direct-to-paper for the coloured panels. The fairy is an Anita's outline sticker, coloured with watercolour pencils.

The double challenge is for Secret Crafter (the layout sketch) and Cute Card Thursday, whose theme was "fairies and angels".

Thanks for looking,
