I like the black paper with the Picked Fence ink over the embossed image.

I agree with many of the comments below. Not only are you an accomplished paper-crafter ... you are an awesome presenter! And so creative, as well! Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us. I love your ideas!

[KarenScheidhauer]

You have a lovely teaching style! I appreciate that you get straight to it without lots of chatter and give clear directions. Love the projects you shared.

[ellenjampole]

These are great cards. Like several others, I very mich enjoy your style of presenting as well as the claarity of your voice and instructions. Thank you.

Wendy, I totally enjoy watching your videos. Clever ideas, voice control and no nonsense style of working on cards. Other channels have too much excess talking and interaction with others. Please do not change your methods. The white embossing with ink overlay is new to me. (Or at least I’d forgotten it.) Thanks. All the cards are beautiful. ❤

They are absolutely lovely, Wendy. We are waiting for Cyclone Alfred to visit us, we are north of Brisbane and it hasn't reached us yet. Love Ruth down under.

Hate the Misti. Love that you use your Stampin' Up version. So many options other than the Misti.
