Advanced Faux Quilting

I've been itching to work with the multiple layers of the Tags & Labels framelits!   Then it struck me that the Advanced Faux Quilting technique would work!

To do the technique, layer different shapes on cardstock then emboss the whole piece with a heavily patterned embossing folder. 

I layered the framelits by interchanging DSP and cardstock with the different sizes.

I also used:

• "Gifts from the Garden" stamp set (w-138718,c-139356)
• "One Big Meaning" stamp set (w-138788,c-139420)
• Tags & Labels Framelits (138282)
• English Garden DSP (138440)
• Stampin' Write Markers
• Zig Zag embossing folder (133738)

Try this technique with your next card!
