Once I received the “Sunflower Embossing Folder” I was able to create a few cards to share. This embossing folder is found in the On-Line Exclusives on the Stampin’ Up! website. I posted my previous card HERE, where I used the “Two-Toned Cardstock”. Then, I sanded the embossed image to expose the inner White layer. For my second card, I tried another technique where I applied white craft ink to the embossed (raised) surface.
For this card, I chose two of the NEW “In Colors”, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea for my color palette. My apologies as my photo is a bit light. This makes the card appear to be mounted on a folded white card base, but it definitely is Cloud Cover. I probably need to learn a bit more about editing my photos, LOL!
I embossed a Secret Sea panel, then drug a “White Craft Ink Pad” over the raised image several times. This technique really adds depth to the embossed image and makes the details pop. The embossed panel was mounted on a layer of Secret Sea and then on to a folded card base in Cloud Cover. The greeting is also stamped on Cloud Cover with Secret Sea ink. After die cutting the greeting, I added “Dimensionals” to the back. A knotted bow of “Faux Linen Ribbon” in Cloud Cover was added with a “Mini Glue Dot”. This card was super easy and truly is striking in real life.
