Yesterday I broke open my new embossing folders from Crafter's Companion and I am so totally thrilled with them!!! The one I used today is called Floralbunda & I LOVE that it has small flowers on top and larger ones on the bottom. Along with the embossing folder, I used the Flower Power set from the Sheena Collection and Sentiment Swirls from the Stamp-It Australia Collection.
So....do you want to see how I made the card? First, I stamped two sizes of flowers with white pigment ink on vellum cardstock and then heat embossed the images with white embossing powder. Once they were cooled, I trimmed them with my scissors.
Next, I flipped the flowers over and colored them on the non-embossed side with my Spectrum Noir Pens ~ OR2, OR3, GB3, GB5. I started with the darkest orange in the center (OR3) and then added a thin line of OR2 around the edge. After that, I added the darker gold (GB5) for the majority of each flower and then added the lighter gold around the edges (GB3). I then repeated each color to make it darker. I added a small orange circle of cardstock to the center of each flower on the back so the orange would POP and then added a foam dot to attach the flower to the card.
Pretty easy and such a pretty look when they are finished!
Have a great weekend!
