Hi everyone, it's time for the monthly technique from the
Group of Seven Crafters. This month Bonnie is getting us to colour Dry Embossed images.
We used a few different methods of colouring the embossing, and as you can see I had a lot of fun with my Embossing folders.
Here are the Video Links:
Cards 1,2,3 Swiping with Pigment inks- I used Nellies Choice Slimline Poinsettia Embossing folder Kraft card and swiped with Versafine Clair Tulip and Delecata Gold.
I managed to make a total of 3 cards with my embossed image, the second and third cards get progressively more CAS. The background stamp is from Stampendous.
Card 4- Sizzix Poinsettia watercoloured with my Daniel Smith Watercolours, I found zigs didn't work as well on the watercolour paper after it had been embossed. The embossing changes how the water is absorbed. I loved how the watercolours pooled in the creases of the embossed areas.
Cards 5,6 Small Blending brushes and Elements inks on my Simon Says Stamp 3D embossing folders. I touched up some of the surface with coloured pencils.
I think this set is my favourite 😏
Card 7 Pencils colouring on a Crafters companion 3D embossing folder (Precious Poinsettias). This one was so relaxing to do but took quite a while to finish. I also used a glitter pen to outline the veins of the poinsettia.
