Products used to create today’s Curvy Blossom Embossing Folder:
- Curvy Blossom 3D embossing Folder
- Reverse See You EZ Strips
- Ocean Ink Pad
- Copic Markers
How to create the Curvy Blossom Embossing Folder Card:
Create the card front:
Start with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel of white cardstock and emboss it with the Curvy Blossom Embossing Folder.
Turn the panel to the debossed side and color the image with Copic Markers:
Copics Used:
- Pinks: RV10, RV13, RV55,RV17, RV 19
- Greens: G21, G82, G28
- Yellow: Y13
Next, Place the panel on a flat work surface and drag the Ocean ink pad across the debossed surface to fill in the background while highlighting the raised details. Leaving the ink slightly streaky gives the background the look of weathered barnwood, which I love.
Create the Card Base:
Trim a panel of Cosmic Sky to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ and attach it to the front of a white, top-folding A2-sized card base. Adhere the embossed panel to the center of the card front.
Add the Sentiment:
Trim a sentiment from the Reverse See You EZ Strips, blacken the edges with a black marker, and attach it to the lower right corner using foam squares.
