Today's card has been made using a Couture Creations embossing folder called Crazy Daisy. It's a bit smaller than their usual folders, but has a very pretty design on it.
The folder was inked up using a Clear Perfect Medium pad, on the side of the folder which has the background most prominent. The white card was embossed in the usual way and then clear embossing powder was applied to the card and heat embossed. Picked Raspberry and Salty Ocean Distress Inks were then blended over the image. Where the clear embossing was in the background, the ink did not settle, making the raised flowers pop.
The white flowers were made using the Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms die set, inked with Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. The blue flowers were made from pale blue card. Two circles of card were cut into spiral shapes. The spirals were then wound to form the blue flowers. The edges of these flowers were inked using the Salty Ocean Distress Ink pad.
Happy crafting!
Beautiful card, love the colours and the flowers. Chris xx

I too love the colours on this card - and you could translate the method to any other embossing folder too. I prefer the bigger folders - they save having to run through twice to extend the pattern, so I'm saving up for more 12in folders.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card, love the colours you've chosen, and the flowers are gorgeous too x
