Hi there.
I am back with my March Case. I've seen a lot of cards using color to enhance those fabulous 3D embossing folders. The first to catch my eye was this by Yana Smakula. Betty created a beauty with this one. Yana used a white ink pad to add color to her version, Betty added perfect pearls powder.
Light toned copics were used to add color. This was fun. Folder used is Altenew's Flowers and Leaves. I did spritz my paper with a touch of water first. I got nice deep impressions with thicker card stock, and I got two panels when I used thinner (80lb) cardstock and inadvertently used two panels while embossing. They were also nice and deep. The sentiment die is from Simon Says Stamp.
Thanks so much for visiting.
Love it with the delicate colors!!
