Hi folks! Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I've got a quick card share today using the Spun Glass embossing folder from the Simon Says Stamp Hugs release.
This is such a cool embossing folder it really stands on it's own, especially when you use specialty papers, in this case, I used Matte Silver cardstock.
I used some Alcohol inks to really emphasize the pattern. I held the embossed cardstock at an angle, and applied both Alchemy (Alcohol Pearls) and Stream Alcohol ink followed by Alcohol Blending Solution to spread the ink down the panel in those deep parts of the design.
It's a little hard to see in the photo above, but here's a close up:
The completed panel was trimmed down and adhered to a cardstock mat.
For the sentiment, I applied those same alcohol inks to another piece of Matte Silver cardstock. That piece was embossed using the same Spun Glass embossing folder, but after embossing, it was then sent through my die cutting machine on its own to essentially flatten it. This maintains some of that texture, but without the dimension.
This embossed/flattened piece was then die cut using the Outline Love die.
The Outline Love die was also die cut from Matte Silver cardstock, both the sentiment itself as well as the shadow piece.
The embossed/flattened alcohol inked pieces were inlaid into the Matte Silver outline on top of the Shadow piece, and the completed sentiment was popped up over the background with foam adhesive.
A secondary sentiment, from the Reverse Well Wishes sentiment strips was added and popped up with two layers of foam adhesive to finish things off.
Thanks for visiting!
