Manhattan Flowers

These cards have all been made with the Manhattan Flower impressions folder. It's the quick and easy way to emboss with out so many tools. Just send it through the Big Shot! I've been able to make some very elegant cards with this, Love it! This card is exactly the same as the third card below, although this is so saffron. The DSP behind the vellum is Tea Party.
This card above was made with some retired items, but I wanted to try the folder with some dark colors just to see how it looked. Aside from the not-so-great photo you can see, it's pretty cool!
This card is Baha Breeze and I used DSP Walk in the Park behind the vellum. I put two pieces of vellum in at a time and that seems to work the best. That way the flowers tend not to crack or rip right through the vellum. The DSP behind the vellum shows through just enough... very neat!
With this card, this is vellum again, but sponged with regal rose and then adhered to regal rose cardstock. The veins of the flowers pick up the color rather nicely. Turning the flowers sideways is another way to use this impressions folder! Another great tip is to put some DSP in the folder and the roses are imprinted right onto the DSP. With the right pattern it looks great. This is such a fun thing to use and at $7.95, it's a great value! Sera
