WIP - I have a nice collection of 3 dimensional embossing folders and am always astonished by their impressed results. At first, I thought I'd do this one with just the white ink on a dark metallic paper. Happily, that was going beautifully until.. I dropped the ink pad and created a real mess.
I'm not always thrilled when I try to save a messed up project, but I gave it a go. Took just a Kleenex tissue and started buffing the entire piece. The black paper, of course, starting getting a gentle greyish tint. Feeling a little impressed with the look, I then reinked the embossed design. The white stood out so sharply with the greyed tone on black.
To add some interest but not to overpower the white, I used soft-tipped eye shadow foam brushes to very lightly apply color to the flowers and leaves.
I'm thinking of adding a leaf-gold edging and maybe use an off-white, cut to the same size, card-stock for the base card.
Materials used: Stardream Lapis Metallic cardstock; Altenew's Decorative Florals 3D embossing folder; Hero Arts AF249 Unicorn pigment ink; Versa Color Topez, Bamboo and Old Rose inks; and rubber tipped eye shadow applicators.
Thank you for stopping in. Wishing you a remarkable week.
May God Bless You and Yours
