Hi Everyone, here are a few cards I made for this weeks fun technique challenge (TLC520). Embossing Folder Stamping.
FirstlyÂ… with this card, it has not been embossed through an embossing machine, it is flat with no raised areas. I inked up the folder with black ink, lightly spritzed but decided to lay a piece of acetate onto the folder for something a little different, wondering what sort of result I might end up with? I was dubious, but kept on playing! The inked pooled more blotchy or blob like and I was liking it at this stage, so I laid my cardstock on the embossing folder and lightly ran my hand over and waited a little for all that goodness to absorb turned it overÂ… Nice Murial!
I then coloured up the roses with an old set of Sakura watercolours, I forgot I even had this small set! It was easier than it probably looks, all I did was wash the roses with soft pink and then added darker shade of the same colour to the petals.
I still had some residual ink on the embossing folder so I lightly spritzed again and repeated the same steps above with the embossing folder, carefully realigning the card stock back onto the folder, which added the softer grey and more lovely blotches.
