Cool New Effect (with By the Bay)

I’m excited to show you this cool new effect I discovered using one of the Basics Embossing Folders and By The Bay DSP! I haven’t seen this done before and the result is so interesting. First of all, here’s the card…

The new technique is on the piece of embossed Sahara Sand with the seashell shine on it. I ran this piece through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Basics 3D Embossing Folder (the one that looks like little starfish all over it) and the texture and shine is amazing! Here it is before the embossing…

And again, after…

Isn’t that fun?! Turn it back and forth a little and the “starfish” have a holographic shine. See another card I made using By the Bay by clicking here.
