Wild Bunch embossed....

 Last Bunch of the Wild Bunch.....since I do not want to tease you with a stamp set that is Sold Out.  I will have about 20 cards on the Rack this Saturday.  They keep multiplying on my craft table....and I had to EMBOSS a few backgrounds for more Texture.  Fern & Flora is currently unavailable, but grab an embossing folder from your stash and have FUN!

I love these Swirly Ferns on WHITE card stock.  I stamped the little squares and then embossed.

You can really change up the background by changing the direction of the squares!  To the Left, the right......

or Alternate!!
