Lawn Fawn embossed Mermaid cards

The background in the card above is a Fiskars texture plate. I inked it from the bottom up. The embossed circle at the top is colored with distress oxide. The stamps are by Lawn Fawn stamped onto Olo paper with Memento black ink.

The background is a dry embossed background that I “masked” out the circle in the center so that it would not emboss. Then I stamped a circle around the area. Then I inked the background with distress oxide.
