Happy Friday!
I am on a group where we were given a challenge to do a technique that we havent tried before – to me that in itself is a challenge! So after thinking for a while I thought I’d try the Inked Embossing Technique – now I dont know if there is a correct term for this or not but thats what I’m calling it!
You simply ink up one side of a Textured Impressions Folder – you can swipe the ink pad all over till its covered or you can use your brayer to apply the ink. You then pop your cardstock in and run it through the Big Shot and awesome wowness 
Here’s my card …
How nice did this turn out??
I inked up the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder with Elegant Eggplant classic ink and then ran it through with a piece of Perfect Plum cardstock. I just love it!
I’ve then finished off the card by adding some ribbon and the sentiment and gorgeous daisy from the Every Moment stamp set – new in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue. I just love this stamp set and have made a couple of cards with it over the past couple of days and will share them with you in time.
Makes a very ‘queasy’ card (quick and easy – a new Onie-ism)

I like the sound of the new term. It describes what you’ve done very well. Isn’t it a beautiful technique though? Using the brayer gives a smoother ink surface. So, it depends on the texture you want whether you direct ink or brayer it. The effects are quite different.
Bye for now,

A beautiful card made by a great technique. I would never have thought to ink the embossing folder before doing the embossing. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love using this techy Leonie and the EE on the PP looks sooooo v v luxurious with this folder!!!! You have made a queasy card that has made a stunning statement. Brilliant.
love your card. I love this technique too. Great colour choice.
This is a really pretty card! TFS!
Love the technique – and the card! Thanks for sharing Leonie
I just love this technique and have used it often. It also works well with the Versamark clear embossing ink pad and then shake embossing powder over it, heat and stand back and be wowed again
Gorgeous card Leonie, the colours are fantabulous and that background is a wowser! TFS
