3D Embossing

I recently picked up a couple of 3-D embossing folders on clearance, and had to try them out.  

The first card is made using Spellbinders 3D European Tapestry.  I cut a piece of card stock to fit the folder, sprayed it lightly with water before embossing it.  After it dried, I used distress oxides to hit the embossing - first all of it with the lighter color, then the most deeply embossed with the darker color.  The sentiment was created using a cutting die (Divinity Designs) - cut from a piece of white card stock that had been colored with the same inks.  I drew around the die on white card stock & fussy cut around it to form a mat for the sentiment.

This second one was made using Spellbinders 3D Roman Romance.  I embossed a piece of white card stock the same way I did the previous one - coloring with two other colors of distress oxide inks.  This particular embossing folder fades out towards the bottom, so I ran a wide ribbon across the bottom & added a couple pink ribbons (colored with the oxide inks to blend better!) & then added a die cut greeting (Spellbinders Joyous Celebrations) - once again cut from white card stock that was colored with the oxide inks.
