Simple and Stunning 3D Embossing

Hey there, Sam on the blog. This is a fairly quick card to pull together, however looks like you spent hours working on the details. All you need is the Perfect Petals 3D Embossing folder, a sentiment and your favourite. water colours. 

It is important with this technique to make sure that you emboss your watercolour  card stock first. Follow your die cut machines instructions for 3D embossing folders and emboss a 6x6 sheet of water colour card stock. 

Using a 1" brush, apply water to the embossed paper. Then start painting with your darker colour and work your way to the lighter tone. The ridges and different heights of the images do the rest of the work. Colour runs into the deeper ridges and runs off the higher peaks, Giving you great variation in colour depth.

Either air dry piece or with a heat tool. Then lightly with your finger rub shimmer paster over the top to add that sparkly goodness. Cut your piece down to go on a A2 card base. 

Finally die cut and add the Celebrate sentiment from Elegant sentiment dies.

Hope you enjoy playing with this technique. Happy papercrafting!
