I love using the Frantage embossing powders around the edges of my card. If you were here a couple of days ago, you saw another card that uses this technique, but it had more of a snowy look to it. It’s all about that powder. It has several different types of granules in it to give a fun effect. I think it’s the perfect finishing touch here. Check out the Stampendous Blog for more creations. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
