EMBOSSED ORNAMENT SPOTLIGHTED

I'm sure there others that have created cards with this technique, but it was my first time.  I'm definitely going to be doing it again!  It was fun, simple, and creates a WOW!

I first made a mask with the Bauble Bloom Die and used that mask to color the ornament in the center of the top Basic White layer with Blending Brushes.  Next I embossed that cardstock with the Joined Together Embossing Folder. 

After embossing I replaced the mask over the ornament and added some additional ink.  This darkened the raised embossed portions of the ornament and really made the pattern from the embossing folder pop!

All I needed to complete the card was the hanger, a snippet of ribbon, a sentiment and few gold pearls.  This technique would be very easy to complete with other simple shape dies and your favorite embossing folder.  How about trying a snowman, a butterfly, a gingerbread man, or even just some circles to create dots!  You will want the shape to be simple so it is easily recognized and the design from the embossing folder becomes the focal point.

Color on the inside was added by White and Garden Green mats.

BAUBLES AND A WREATH

This week I will be featuring the Bauble Blooms Bundle from Stampin' Up!

For today's card I combined it with the Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder.

The Traditional Wreath Embossing folder makes a large, beautiful wreath!  It is a 6" x 6" folder and the ornament from Bauble Blooms fits perfectly in the center of the wreath.

After embossing the Basic White cardstock I used a sponge dauber to add Soft Sea Foam ink to the raised surfaces.  Two ornaments were created on Basic White cardstock using Mossy Meadow and Flirty Flamingo ink.  The first was die cut with the solid ornament die and the second ornament was die cut with the detailed die that cuts out the flowers and the leaves.

The flowers were then assembled to the ornament with dimensionals before attaching the stamped and die cut ornament to the card front.  The two die cut leaves were snipped into 4 pieces and tucked behind the ornament.

The hanger was die cut from Brushed Silver Foil and after coloring a piece of white Bakers Twin with Flirty Flamingo ink, it was tied to the hanger.

The Mossy Meadow sentiment from Baubles Bloom was die cut with a die from Textured Notes Dies.

The inside of the card was kept simple with only a Soft Sea Foam mat providing a bit of color for the Basic White message layer.
