Start by rubbing the ink pad directly on your embossing folder, insert card stock and run it on your machine. On this card, I embossed the black card stock using Stampin'Up's Woodgrain Texture Impressions Embossing Folder inked with Gold Encore Metallic Ink. The result is a subtle metallic look, very nice in person but hard to capture on my little camera.
I stamped the sentiment, from Perfect Pennants stamp set, with black ink and die cut the banner using Banners framelits dies. I stamped the starbursts in crumb cake ink and die cut using the Starburst framelits dies. Added the candy dots and it's done. I was going for a masculine card.
