Hyvää lauantaita, tervetuloa Allsorts haasteen pariin! Viikon aiheena "kohokansiot ja / tai kohojauheet eli embossaus. Nyt pistin kyllä sellaisen sotkun aikaiseksi, että tähän tekniikkaan pitää palata paremmalla ajalla. Kannattaa kurkata upeita tuotoksia ja neuvot täältä.
Happy Saturday, it's time for a new Allsorts Challenge! Technique theme is "embossing, dry and/or hot"
Welcome to join in.
I'm trying a new technique, I got a hint from my teamie Hilary. She had found this blog called Group of Seven Cardmakers - advice from experienced cardmakers on techniques and products.
Take a look the amazing samples there are. This is my quick one, with black fingermarks all over!
I got to try this all in better time, this how it goes: "watercolouring a
background using re-inkers ( I used Brusho's) to create a very
saturated,
vibrant background. Once that is dry, an embossing folder ( Sizzix) is
used to
add dimension to the colourful card at the same time as adding black (
Versa Fine Clair Nocturne) ink
to the background. After embossing through BS I hot embossed the surface with WOW EP. Golden mirri cardstock and Christmas die cut sentiment in Finnish.
It's more green and vivid alive, so hard to take a good pic.
Another Christmas card, now in more white colours. My new Spellbinders die cut set "Stitched Christmas sweater" - I've done many cards with it, here's with dry embossed background.
Black and white! A pic from last weekend, we have snow ( a little). I like to put candles outside, they are so beautiful when it's dark. Happy weekend! Me and hubby are in a short trip, a hotel visit to Imatra. And sorry I still can't comment some blogs. Blogger is so weird...
Kiitos käynnistä! Thanks for your visit;-))m
You card looks very striking in those colours Mervi.

TWo beautifully made cards Mervi. What a great technique on the first! I'm never adventurous with my embossing folders, might need to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteThe outdoor picture with the lantern looks so nice and peaceful!
I am so glad you had a go at that technique. Isn't it great? I think it is quite addictive and I love the heat embossing on it. Coincidentally, I had another go at the technique today and added gold heat embossing too. I love the look. Your jumper card is great too. Enjoy your weekend away xx
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards and love the new technique. Anesha x
