As I continue to explore possibilities with can metal, I have begun to play more with my embossing folders.
For one piece I used both sides of a single folder--a floral--to create a BG on a diecut. The result was still very identifiable as floral & looks good with the butterflies I stamped, fussy cut & attached to it.
For another piece, I used 2 different folders. I embossed first with a small checkerboard pattern & then embossed it again with a strong leaf pattern folder. Again, the results were pretty good.
Although I'm working mostly on metal, I'm wondering how others may have used a single or multiple of folders on BGs & even focal items.
