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.

I love how clean and bright this card looks. It is also a great way to use up scraps. The background is embossed using the new raindrop embossing folders. It just adds a little interest in the background where there are no other elements.

I’ve used the smallest hex die from the Beautiful Shapes dies set. You could use different sizes for extra interest or layer them up as well. The paper is the gorgeous new designer series paper (DSP) Regency Park. It has a lovely spring feel to it.

I love the clean and simple look of this card. It’s super easy and quick to make.

The picture above uses Cajun Craze as the main colour where as the one below is Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzleberry. Which do you prefer?

This is one of my go to style of cards. It’s a great way to stretch your designer series paper (DSP). I’ve used half a sheet of 6″ X 6″ paper. Sometimes I place the paper in the middle of the card and sometimes more to one side or the other.

The focal image is from Amazing Year. Such a beautiful simple bunch of flowers. They are coloured in using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Below is another way. Which do you prefer?

I love hydrangeas. My mother has a huge one in the garden when I was a kid and I just grew up with these gorgeous big blooms. We still have them in the garden now and I’m looking forward them to blooming this year.

The Hydrangea Haven stamp set is a two-step stamping set. This gives extra detail and depth to the image. You can of course colour the images in yourself if you so wish.

I’m back with another Friday Focus post. In May we have been looking at using colour in our cards. Today I am using all the colours in the rainbow here. I love making rainbow cards. They are vibrant, bold and such fun. These cute little dragonflies really pop.

I couldn’t resist doodling a little with a white gel pen to add highlights to the dragonflies. The rhinestones are the perfect finishing touch.

How to Emboss on a Blended Ink Background – Focus Friday – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demonstrator – Lincoln UK.

Welcome to another Focus Friday Project. Every month I chose a certain product or group of tecninques and each Friday for that month we focus on one specific technique. This month it has been embossing folders. Today we are looking at embossing onto an inked background.

I used a blending brush to ink the background first with Petal Pink and then Magenta Madness. I tried to get a varied mix of colours. The background was then embossed with the new Hive 3D embossing folder. The ink blending really highlights all the gorgeous texture from the embossing folder.

How to Print using an Embossing Folder – Focus Friday – Biggest Wish –

This is a very simple card. I’ve used the complementary colours of Blue (Misty Moonlight) and Orange (Pumpkin Pie). These colours will pop next to each other as they are opposite each other in the colour wheel.

This is the second project in the Focus Friday – Embossing Folder series. This week we are looking at how to print using embossing folders. I’ve used the Checks & Dots embossing folder to create this lovely background. I used a brayer to ink my embossing folder. Check out the video below for more details. It’s such a fun technique.
