Hi everyone. One more quick card for the
CAS Mix Up November Challenge - Embossing Folder, hosted by
Bonnie.
Here's another embossing folder technique that I learned this year. I did share some cards earlier this year with this fun technique that uses Powdered inks sprinkled onto white mixed media paper, placed inside an embossing folder, and run through a machine to dry emboss the image and embed the powders. Remove from folder and spritz with water. The colours explode as they always do when water is added, but having them embedded into the card stock allows some to stay in place and gives lots of deep areas of colour.
I used an embossing folder that came with my die-cutting/embossing machine. It's really beautiful with deep embossing. I cut the panel down and added a die-cut butterfly that I received from my friend Bonnie, along with a stamped black banner sentiment and die-cut sentiment.
Easy and fun card to make.
Here's a close-up ...
