Two cards today, experimenting with inks and a 3D embossing folder.
The embossing folder is Lisa Horton's 'Blooming Peony' 3D e/f. I used makeup brushes to apply 'Kitsch Flamingo' lightly over the peonies, trying hard not to ink the non raised up parts. The centres were coloured with a pale yellow Promarker. The sentiment is a stamp from Lisa Horton's box magazine, stamped in Versafine Clair 'Morning Mist'. The embossed card was layered on a pale green mat.
For my second card I used a brighter pink Distress Ink pad, 'Picked Raspberry' and layered the embossed card on a bright pink mat.
I am joining in the following challenges:
These are really beautiful Liz, a great folder and such fabulous choice of colours. Must have I think.
