Hello Everyone,
Recently I hosted an online Midnight Madness, 12 hours of creativity with 30 other crafty people chatting and creating from Midday to Midnight. There were 9 challenges to complete and here is one of them.
Create a project using wet or dry embossing, or both. Well you know me, I had to use both.
The background panel was run through the Big Shot in a Craft Concepts Embossing Folder Leafy Flourish with a fairly tight sandwich to give a really raised crisp emboss. Then I rubbed a Versamark Inkpad over the raised areas, not worrying if I got the lower parts of the cardstock as well. Then covered with gold embossing powder and heat set. After I had done this I used a sanding block to buff the shine off the raised areas, so I have a really dull surface on the leaves, but leaving other areas of the background with grainy patchy gold embossing.
I have embellished the card with ruffled ribbon and bow, butterflies and flowers and a Victorian image in a dimensional frame. Overall I was really happy with the result of the background and the embellishing.
Hope you like it too.
Hugs
Lauren
