The neutral colors on this card  makes it work for either a man or a woman: Vanilla and  Crumb Cake, and accented with the Linen Thread.

The decorative piece at the bottom is an example of Brayered Embossing. This was our Technique of the Month for June. Its very easy to do as long as you have a way to texture emboss your paper.  

For this card we texture embossed the bottom half of the Vanilla card using the Square Lattice Embossing folder. Then we applied the Crumb Cake ink to the raised areas of the embossing using a Brayer.  

You use the brayer just like you use a paint roller on a wall.  Its kind of fun actually.  You can move the brayer in any direction and go back to smooth out lines and fill in gaps. Its pretty awesome.
