Two years ago, my daughter and I were doing this:
Yes, those are 200 flattened pillow boxes that we stamped with a green floral stamp, dry embossed with swiss dots, and then added a butterfly.
It was fun wedding:-)
This week on Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday tutorial, Ashley Cannon Newell shows how to embellish pillow boxes many beautiful ways (her gold embossing was my favorite!) Ashley's tutorial inspired me to dry emboss again (even though her beautiful embossing was heat embossed) This time I used colored card stock and inked the embossing with white.
And of course, added an embellishment:-)
