Spellbinders Dala Horse Tutorial

Hello friends - thank you for stopping by! Today I have a tutorial to share for Spellbinders - created using one of the 'coming soon' dies from the Folk Art Collection by Lene Lok.  I never did Folk Art but have always been intrigued by it - and I have to say it was so much fun using this Die.  The Dala Horse Etched Dies Folk Art Collection by Lene Lok offers one horse shape with intricate designs to either ink or add medium through the die to enhance its embossing details.

 Folk Art Collection by Lene Lok is inspired by Norwegian folk art with its landscape and floral designs featuring scrollwork and such to create flowing patterns. Bring these wonderful whimsical elements into your next projects. - Spellbinders
