I love this background SO much (Marker watercoloring + embossing folder)

NOTE: This post is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Thanks, Simon!

Happy Monday, all! Today I have a card made using the November 2022 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp. I used one of the image stamps from the Full of Thanks stamp set and watercolored it using Karin Brushmarker PRO markers. I also stamped and gold heat embossed a greeting.

The background on the card was made using the Tufted embossing folder from Spellbinders and Royal Purple cardstock from Simon. To darken the cardstock, I used Black Pansy Paper Glaze from Picket Fence, and I LOVE how it turned out! This is a technique I saw shared by Simon Hurley and Jennifer McGuire and I wanted to try it out myself. So fun!

Enjoy the video!
