I’m excited about the TWO new border punches we carry…so I used the Triangle border punch & backed it with a scrap of our brown & tan glitter paper.

See the NEW embossing folder??  It’s a woodgrain design!!  I inked the top of the embossed design with Champagne ink, and then rubbed the edges of the front square in chocolate ink.
