Today I am sharing the cards designed for my May classes using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder and 3 different techniques.

Colours used in these projects are:

 

Reverse Embossing Technique Card

Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5¼” by 3½” – Embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White – 3¼” by 2¼” – for die-cutting a label using the Nested Essentials Dies

 

We placed the embossed panel, face down with the debossed side facing up, onto grid paper (any scrap paper would do) and using a Sponge Dauber coloured in the large flower petal with Gorgeous Grape ink. There is no need to be neat or to stay within the petals.

 

Next, using a different Sponge Daubers we added Granny Apple Green to all the leaves and Lemon Lolly to the large flower centres and all the smaller flowers. At this point the embossed panel looks like a hot mess!

Then the fun started. We took a well inked Memento Tuxedo Black ink and swiped it multiple times across inked panel. The result is amazing, the bright flowers and leaves really pop out of the black background. This panel was then set aside to dry, this takes 5 – 8 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, we stamped the sentiment from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set onto the die cut label using Gorgeous Grape ink and set it aside.

When the embossed panel was dry it was adhered to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” layer of Basic White card. A length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape.

 

The whole piece was then glued to the Lemon Lolly card front. The Sentiment was added with Dimensionals and a the ribbon bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

Watercolor Pencil Embossed card

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lolly card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder
Lemon Lolly card – 2⅛” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 2⅛” by 2⅛” – A stitched square die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

With the embossed panel facing upwards we scribbled colour onto the petals of the small flowers using a Gorgeous Grape Watercolor Pencil. The flower centres were then coloured with a Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencil.

 

We then used a Blender Pen to smooth out and spread the colour. The decorated panel was the glued to the Lemon Lolly Panel.

A length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape and the whole piece then added to the Highland Heather card front.

 

The sentiment, from the Textured Florals stamp set was stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink onto the die cut Basic White square. The stamped square was glued to the Lemon Lolly square. The sentiment was then added, on Dimensionals, to the card front. A ribbon bow completed the card.

Brayered Embossed card

Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Lemon Lolly card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder
Gorgeous Grape card – 2⅛” by 2⅛” – A stitched square die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies
Lemon Lolly card – 2⅛” by 2⅛” A stitched square die cut using Stylish Shapes Dies
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

With the embossed side uppermost, we inked up the Brayer with Gorgeous Grape ink and ran it across the panel applying colour to the raised areas.

 

Using a Blending Brush, we added Gorgeous Grape around all 4 sides of the panel and then glued the panel to the Lemon Lolly layer.

A length of Lemon Lolly Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape before it was adhered to the Gorgeous Grape card front.

The sentiment was stamped onto the Lemon Lolly die cut square using Gorgeous Grape ink. The 2 die cut squares were then glued together and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

 

I hope you like them.
