This card was made with designer paper I had for 7 years; until now I didn't know what to do with it.

Instructions:

1. Paint the embossed design on front of alterations embossing folder with espresso paint.

2. Apply the trimmed designer paper in the folder and then run the embossing folder through your tool.
