Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Inked Cards

 Hi Everybody,

These are some more of the cards inspired by the 3-D Embossing Folder I mentioned yesterday. 

The pattern is much deeper on  3-D folders than it is on  ordinary ones as it gives you other layers to the embossing.

Burt if you don't have this type of folder then try it with others that you do have in your own collection and see what works for you. 

Floral folders always give a really pretty look and using coloured inks will make them even prettier. 

This one is created with white ink on the raised areas and then I used the gold wax to highlight them even more.

The panel was wrapped several times with gold twine before adding it to a gold layer to lave a small border around the edge and  then I added it to the brown card base. 

The sentiment is from another collection and I am using them up on other cards as there are so many in the pack.

This was added to the same gold card and  adhered with foam pads to the card front.

Try embossing parchment for another look or even acetate.



And if you make a mistake then why not fussy cut the flowers out and add them separately to another card base  so as not to waste them or your time.

This has been etched with the black ink and added to a black and white  Dottie card.

The sentiment is from yet another collection that has many in it.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
