Step up your dry embossing: technique 1

This first card using the Enchanting Vines 3D embossing folder from Altenew. I ran this through my die-cutting machine with a piece of Tranquil Teal cardstock. 

Step up your dry embossing

To bring out the embossed design more, use a foam ink blending tool and blend metallic gold pigment ink gently onto the card. This will blend onto the raised areas adding a soft highlight. Try not to press down to hard.

To turn this into a card, cut out a small panel in the middle and foam mount the remaining onto a white cardbase. Next, add a layered die-cut ‘happy’ using the Fine Alphabet dies and add a heat embossed sentiment from the Birthday builder stamp set

Lastly, embellish with a few white Nuvo drops.

Step up your dry embossing: technique 2

For this second card, we will step up the card panel before we dry emboss it. Use a selection of blues from the Lapis Lazuli ink set, create an ombre ink blended panel. Next, run this through your die-cutting machine with Folk Art Motif 3D embossing folder

Step up your dry embossing

Again, to bring out the design more by adding white pigment ink highlights using a blending tool again. Trim this down and foam mount onto a card base. 

This card was finished off with a white ‘Happy’ die cut and another embossed sentiment from the Birthday builder stamp set. Again, the card was embellished with white Nuvo drops. 

Step up your dry embossing!
