Floral Sympathy

 I sponged some softer colors on this 3-D embossing folder. I like these softer tones for this folder and for this occasion. What do you think?

I have been playing with the Country Floral 3-D embossing folder and have not been satisfied with my results. So, here is another attempt.

First, I embossed my Whisper White panel using the 3-D embossing folder. It is advisable to spray it slightly with water so the fibers stretch rather than tear. 

I then sponged the large roses with Highland Heather and the smaller flowers with Rococo Rose. I also sponged the leaves and other florals with Soft Sea Foam.

I stamped, die cut, and sponged my sentiment. It was attached using dimensionals. 

The embossed panel was adhered to the Rococo Rose card base using my liquid glue.

The other Whisper White panel was attached on the inside of the card.

Country Fig Madness

Add ink to an embossing folder and get a surprising result. I applied ink to the smooth or flat inside flap of the embossing folder. I used my ink pad itself and dabbed the ink. You can also use a brayer.

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Fresh Fig A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Fresh Fig

Technique:

   Dry Embossing with Ink

Accessories:

   Country Floral Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder

   Adhesive

This was my first attempt, and I found that the color was too dark. So, I tried a lighter tone.

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Basic Black A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Magenta Madness

Technique:

   Dry Embossing with Ink

Accessories:

   Country Floral Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

I do like the second card better, but the Magenta Madness is a loud color. I think I will have to try embossing and sponging some subtle colors on the roses. What do you think?

This embossing folder has been discontinued by Stampin' Up! Still, the technique can be used with any embossing folder. Whenever you want the embossing to pop with a bit of color on your background, give this technique a try.

Inky Country Floral

Here is an all occasion card that requires no stamping. I did, however, use an embossing folder to create a raised image on the card front. I then used my small ink pads to apply ink directly onto the raised image. Viola! 

Stamps:

   None

Paper:

   Melon Mambo A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4

Ink:

   Emerald Envy

   Melon Mambo

   Island Indigo

Technique:

   Dry Embossing

Accessories:

   Country Floral Embossing Folder

   Adhesive

This is a very quick and easy card to make. Choose an embossing folder that will cover the entire card front. Emboss your white panel.

Next, choose the colors you would like to use from your small ink pad collection. You can use any size ink pad, but the smaller ones are easier to handle.

Then gently swipe the ink pad across the embossed image. Do not press too hard, or the ink may bleed past the embossing and onto the card front. You may choose to use as many colors as you like. Try to keep them separate. You will get a different color when they are swiped onto each other.

Lastly, adhere your white panel onto the card base. You can always add a sentiment on a tag or banner if you like. I like keeping the card blank and determining the occasion by what I write on the inside.
