No I didn't hit a brick wall. BWG I used the Brick Wall embossing folder to make the background for this card. This card was cased from Patty Bennett and you can see her details by clicking
I didn't read her blog before I made my version opting instead to just figure it out as best I could but she has a really cool suggestion for the background design.
I stamped the flower and flower center with Peek a Boo Peach, Pumpkin Pie and Watermelon Wonder. The leaves I stamped with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. The dark part of the center I just punched from Early Espresso. The background I used Crumb Cake and the Brayer tool to ink the raised side of the embossing folder and then ran it through the big shot.
I used the bone folder to curve the flower petals and leaves and attached them with a glue dot at the tip so they would stay curled. A little bit of the fat Baker's Twine for the finishing touch. There is room at the top to add a sentiment if you choose, I just make all my cards blank.
Hope you enjoyed stopping by today. More tomorrow from this bundle.
