Embossing folder monoprint

I used some Brushos and Lindys Magicals with an embossing folder to create a monoprint.
I stamped the seahorse and painted it with Lindy's Magicals for some shimmer.


I wish I could get a better picture of the sparkle but you know what it's like.

You always achieve spectacular backgrounds doing a technique that we are familiar with. Yet yours turn out so beautifully. The texture on that seahorse is amazing. Definitely a WOW card.

WOW! A great background for a sea horse. I love mixing colors and white areas in the background. It adds lightness to the card. I also love corals and this amazing seahorse. I'm sure it shines and shines!
