Most of the time we tend to use embossing folders with plain cardstock. I’ve used it here with the Distressed Gold speciality paper. It gives a great effect so different to using it with plain cardstock. I’ve used the Metal Plate embossing folder and it really gives this look with the Distressed Gold paper.

  • Very Vanilla Cardstock – A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Distressed Gold Speciality Paper – 14.35cm X 10cm

How to Ink over an Embossed Background

The trick to this technique is to use a very light hand when inking over your embossed image. You just need to glide your blending brush over the embossed image with no pressure at all. This way it will pick up the raised embossing only.

I’ve kept this card very tonal. The silver spring charm is quite chunky so make sure it is securely attached using glue dots or wet glue.

This fox looks a lot redder in the photo than he does in real life. I coloured him using a water painter and Cajun Craze ink pad. You can mix colours to colour the little fox in as well. The grass is Old Olive and the sky is Balmy Blue. I love playing with colours. It’s such fun.

I am back with another Friday Focus post. Today we are looking at colour theory again. I am using complementary colours today to make my focal image really pop off the background. These are the wonderful Tulip Dies that you can use to make any number of different flowers. Just play around with the elements to create a flower that you like the look of. There is no wrong way to put these together.

Complementary colours are those opposite each on the colour wheel:

  • Red & Green
  • Yellow & Purple
  • Blue & Orange

I love daffodils. They are so happy and yellow. I look forward to seeing them every year. This card is totally made from die-cuts. You can sponge the flowers for added interest as well. If you shape the flowers as you stick them together you will get a 3D effect.

This card has a lovely vintage feel to it. Can’t believe it started out as plain Sahara Sand Cardstock. I used the same colour, Crumb Cake which is just a shade darker than Sahara Sand to do all the stamping and blending. It gives it a cohesive look. I kept the blending dark on the edges to give a border and make the centre pop.

  • Sahara Sand – 14.35cm X 10cm

A simple and beautiful card for a sad occasion. I backed the focal image on the designer series paper that is matted on the cardbase. Gutting means cutting out the interior of the paper leaving just a shell. I used the Stampin’ Up! trimmer which makes this so easy. This is a great way to save paper and stretch your supplies.

I don’t think anyone can deny sunflowers are gorgeous. They make you smile and a field of them is truly spectacular. I love watching the Tour de France each year and when they go through parts of France you see these glorious fields of sunflowers. A truly picture-perfect moment.

This card is a little shaker card using the mason jar shaker domes. I’ve coloured everything in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers which as you know are one of my favourite colouring mediums. I find colouring so relaxing and had great fun making this card.
