Hello and Welcome! I'm so glad your visiting for my first post on the Design Team at Open Minded Crafting Fun. I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase a wonderful digi image by Milk Coffee. You can find the link to the image at the bottom if this post under the products heading. For this challenge we made a project using any new technique to us.
So...what's my new technique...I've never used my embossing folders for small circle embellishments on a layout before. I typically use an embossing folder for a background on a card or to emboss a full pieced Cricut cut out but here I used my circle punch and embossed the circles.
Here's a close up of the wonderful image and the embossed circle embellishments.
These are the Copic markers I used
I used this sketch for inspiration
