Good evening and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop. We are sharing embossing techniques today.
There are so many different types of embossing, there is heat embossing, dry embossing, embossing folders, embossing paste each of which can be used in so many different ways. I am showing a technique today using dry embossing (albeit it does involve some water!).
I started by blending Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay inks on to a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock. I then splattered the background with water and allowed it to dry. I then ran the card through my die cutting machine using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. Being a 3D folder, the embossed parts are really deep and detailed.
I then took a sanding block and lightly sanded the top off the card to reveal the white underneath. I then couldn't resist adding some gilding flakes to some of the raised area to give it a nice patina!
This card took me completely out of my comfort zone but I thoroughly enjoyed making it, I hope you like it!
I recorded a short video of the process so you can see how it was made.

Happy Embossin'

Gorgeous card Jo, love the vibrant colours x
ReplyDeleteOMG! Love the background, gonna have to try this one.
ReplyDeleteLove this faux patina background you created, Jo! The sanding of the embossed elements from the Parisian embossing folder is an old fav technique of mine. Thanks for the inspiration and for hopping with us. x
ReplyDeleteI love your artistic use of the folder!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love the addition of the gold flakes!
ReplyDeleteWOW Jo, fabulous!!! So bold and dramatic- I love it x
ReplyDeleteStunning card! I love how you sanded your Cardstock and added the gold flakes for patina!
ReplyDeleteOh that's a really fantastic card! There's a lot of work and steps but the bone folder sticks out so well and the idea of using vellum on it helps the work stand out nicely at the back. Really a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove this technique, Jo! 💕Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I love your colors.
ReplyDeleteLovely card :-)
