Brayered Embossed Technique

Hello Everyone

The cards for today both use a brayered dry embossed technique. To create these cards, I first brayered the inside of the Manhatten Flower Embossing Folder with a bold ink - Melon Mambo for the first card. I took a piece of Glossy White cardstock and after running it through the Big Shot, I wiped any excess ink from the embossed portion of the card.

I then cut out the flowers, (I did an extra one and created some further dimension too). This card is finished with the beautiful white Organza Ribbon.

For this second card I used Marina Mist as the colour to brayer. I made the rose using three layers of the Manhatten Flower image and the greeting is from the Four Frames stamp set, punched with the matching Decorative Label punch.

Why not have a go with this simple but effective technique.

Scallop Circle Card

Hello Everyone

This is a card I have been doing at some of my recent events and also shared with my fellow demos in Amanda's team at July team training.

It uses the Big Shot as you can probably see. I cut the card base using the Scallop Circle die, the the flower was done with the Manhattan Rose embossing folder.  I cut the flower out, which is easy as you can follow the embossed edge, and then gently coloured it with Rich Razzleberry ink using a dauber.

The leaves are from French Foliage, which I still love SO much. I attached the flower using dimensionals so it popped up above the leaves.

The sentiment is stamped on Very Vanilla cardstock and punched out using the Modern Label punch. The layer beneath is created using another die - one of those from the Lots of Tags pack which are great for layering with your punches.

Hope you like it!
