Hi everyone! Do you remember the poinsettia embossing folder card I made HERE? I tried it again with the NEW Spellbinders Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder.
I did this one a little different. I ran it through the Big Shot with the embossing folder setup after I inked it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink pad. (regular dye ink) You ink it on the wrong side, the side that debosses, the design is recessed into the cardstock but you don’t want to go deep this time. Use a thinner sandwich. I inked it up so it’d be easier to see where to brush on the ink. The first time I did it I got too much green on the pink.
I found that I could kinda ‘wash’ the ink off with a damp stiff-ish paint brush, after I deep embossed it and brushed back in the right color. I missed a few spots though! hehe
Scroll down (last picture) and you’ll see how it looks after ink blending and before the last embossing like the folder is meant to be embossed.
After inking with yellow, pink, green oxide inks and deep embossing, you ink blend again over the top of all of it with Vintage photo distress oxide ink.
It’s a super fun, vintage-y, distressed look that the camera makes brighter and deeper color than it really is IRL.
I hot foiled the sentiment on a die cut panel using the Spellbinders Something Special Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and gold hot foil.
I spattered on some gold ink for sparkle and glued on some gold pearls to glam it up… oh and some thin gold cord before I glued it to an A7 size cardbase.
Here’s the not so pretty ink blended panel! :O I know… at this point you think, I should quit! This is NOT working! lol
Never fear….keep going! lol
As to my Hallmark commentary last time… this one is Hallmark size anyway! lol

you got amazing results, I have a feeling mine would just end up looking like your last picture, LOL!
Thanks for sharing this technique and transformation from ink blended panel to embossed. I’m often guilty of probably quitting too early on my perceived fails. You are an inspiration!
thank you so much Pat! I understand! Time is a commodity and I don’t want to waste it on something I don’t think I’m going to like in the end! lol

happy valentine’s day!
Absolutely stunning Pam I totally love the look of the vintage effect. Thank you so much for joining us at the Flower challenge DT Aileen
I love this look, Pam! I need to get myself a 3D embossing folder with some flowers to get this look. Love your color choices for this project.
Oh that looks great! I just might have to try this technique! I love how it turned out! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely cards and thanks for the technique idea.
I see your sparkle and I love it! I like your tutorial a lot…I struggle with inking up embossing folders before running them through my machine. So glad you joined us at Just Us Girls this week!

I sure do remember your poinsettia card and was bowled over by its beauty. Now here’s one for the fairer weather and it’s gorgeous, too! Love all the 3D folders. I have not had much luck with this inking technique, but you make me feel like trying again. So pretty, Pam!
Oh Pam this is so beautiful – what a gorgeous result!!!
