Happy Mother's Day to everyone celebrating today!
The blossoms, leaves and tendrils of the new Blooming Sweet Pea 3D Embossing Folder create a delicate background for a thoughtful greeting. The glossy heat-embossed design adds extra dimension and contrast. Hi, Jean Okimoto here with a simple design for any occasion.
Cut a sheet from the Vibrant Violet Collection with the 4-¼" x 5-½" Rectangle Basics die. Use a hard rubber brayer and a clean, well-inked VersaMark pad to transfer the ink the top section of the Blooming Sweet Pea 3D Embossing Folder. Pressure-emboss inked areas with detail clear powder.
Here's a technique we use in classes - preheat the embossing powder by applying the heat-tool to the reverse side of the the cardtock first. Let the heat-tool cool off for a minute or two, then heat-emboss the design from thge right side.
Stamp the greeting - from the All the Happiness Clear Stamp and die set - on a pale lavender sheet from the Vibrant Violet Collection with Paradise VersaFine Clair. Cut it with the Double Stitch Happy Heart die.
Cut a darker lavender sheet with the 2" x 3-½" Rectangle Basics die. Cut a partial heart from the rectangle - tape the heart to the rectangle on the reverse side.
Attach the pieces to a top-folded white A-2 card. Add clear Fairy Drops.
The new 3D Embossing Folders give you the option of simply embossing - or adding ink. Hope you take the time to try the different techniques
Thanks for visiting - see you on Thursday!
