Faux Embossing
Here is another card I created after watching a video by Julie Carriere on CDT 31 Days of Christmas. I am so loving these creative classes I signed up for. I followed Julies instructions to create the card base but I used Shaded Spruce card. I created my faux embossing panel following Julie’s ink suggestions. I did not have the same stamps she used but I did use the smallest tree stamp from the Scenic Adventure stamp set. I didn’t use glossy photo paper but I had some Glossy White card stock in my stash which I used instead.
I die cut Garden Green and Shaded Spruce using the retired Golden Greenery Dies. I added some Early Espresso ink to the leaves as suggested by Julie. I didn’t have any gold metallic ink so I had to forego that step. I used the Ornamental Christmas Dies to cut out the Bauble from the Glossy White card stock and added a bauble topper cut from Gold Foil card using the same dies.
I attached a length of the retired Gold Trim from the retired Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack behind the bauble and wrapped it over onto the back of the Shaded Spruce card. I used the Gold Striped 3/8″ Mesh Ribbon to tie a bow which I added to the top of my bauble. I stamped the greeting from the retired Greetings of the Season onto Basic White card using Shaded Spruce ink and fussy cut it out. I attached the greeting to the card front using dimensionals. I also added three Halographic Resin Dots to the card front. To decorate the inside of the card I stamped another greeting from the retired Greetings of the Season stamp set onto Basic White card using Shaded Spruce ink. I attached the stamped Basic White card to Shaded Spruce card and then to the inside of the Thick Basic White card base. My faux embossing is not quite as deep in colour as I would have liked however, I am happy with the finished card. So thank you Julie for the inspiration.
Bye for now,
Kris
