Hello friends, 

Today I have a few cards inspired by a couple of my Instagram friends, Enna @ritzyhag and Cindy @crncards If you like my cards today, you will definitely love the inspiration from these two very talented artists!

As you may already know embossing folders have a positive or raised side and a negative or recessed side. I will use the negative or recessed side of the paper for both cards.

CARD RECIPE

  • Place a piece of watercolor cardstock in between the Spring Medley 3D Embossing Folder. I used Canson watercolor paper and gave it a light mist before running it through an embossing/die-cutting machine.
  • Add ink to the recessed side of the embossed design. I used small ink-blending shader brushes and distress oxide inks. 
  • Spray the entire panel with water and allow the inks to mix.
  • To add sparkle to the background, I added some drops of Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer.
  • Allow the panel to completely dry before the next step.

  • Once the embossed panels are completely dry, use the Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad and rub the black ink all over the colored recessed side of the panel.
  • Trim the panel down and black ink to the trimmed edges.
  • Glue a black panel to a card base. I left a little white edge around the perimeter of the card.
  • Add foam to the back of the embossed panel and glue it to the card front.
  • Glue the sentiments in place using some foam strips.
  • Finish by adding some gems in the centers of the flowers.

This next card was done the exact same way as the first one only this time I used the Clover Petals 3D Embossing Folder.

 Also, I did not add any Bee Creative Liquid Shimmer and used the Marvelous Moments Gem Stickers.

I love how simple this detailed background was to make. It looks like so much work but it actually came together fairly quickly. The part that took the longest was the drying time of the panels.

Hope you enjoyed these colorful background panels using Embossing Folders. Hopefully, they inspire you to give this technique a try. Remember you can use any water-reactive media to add color to your background. Just have fun!


Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
