Here are some more cards I made using my Crafter's Companion 3D embossing folder 'Country Garden'. You can see the first ones I made here and here.
I was inspired by the CAS Mix Up challenge which this month is:
The first card is made by inking the top of the folder with Angel Pink ink and then running through my die cutting machine.
It gives a beautifully subtle effect. I did add a little more ink with brush in a couple of places where I thought it was a bit pale.
The next two are made by inking the folder with Seedless Preserves and then spritzing with water before embossing. I liked the effect so much I made two.
I've made them all in a similar style as I'd embossed on scraps of card and couldn't bear to cut them down and lose any of the patterns. I used pink paper for the die cut edges and inked again with Seedless Preserves so it matched.
I hope you like them. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your day. x
All three are GORGEOUS, Alison! I love the technique you've used to show off the beautiful and deep embossed pattern of your folder. The design is so beautiful all on it's own and I love how you finished your designs by added a pretty scalloped border. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see how you played with the inks and embossing folder Alison! what different looks achieved with darker and lighter colors! And what a pretty delicate die cut border you added! Thanks for sharing (again!) with CAS Mix Up!
