Embossed Ombre Cards 08112017

Hi! I made this cards a while back but finally got around to sharing them here. I hope you like them

I took out some of my embossing folders and some ombre cardstock and just had fun. Keeping the cards very simple and letting the embossing shine. Here are 8 easy and quick cards. Let me know what you think.

Vellum Cards 030516

Vellum can soften the look of a card. I like to dry-emboss it and sometimes color it. The cards below have vellum incorporated into the making. I hope you like them.

For this card I did the coloring on the back side of the vellum with alcohol markers and used stickers to add the name. I put it on a black panel which really makes the embossing and the coloring pop and I added it to a card base.

The card above and below are both made with the one embossing folder. The flower design is such that it has flowers on both sides and it makes it easy to cut along the middle section and separate the flowers.  On the orange card I added ribbon and a sentiment. 

 

On the green card above I added thin washi tape on the edge and the sentiment in the middle on which I use the rock-and-roll technique on the stamp to get a darker color along the edges. 

This last card I softened the pock-a-dot pattern by adding the embossed vellum on top. Once again a colored the butterflies with my alcohol markers. 

Dry Embossed Card Set 030416

Embossing gives such elegant look to cards, and they are so much fun to make. Here is a set I made with different embossing folders I have. Enjoy!

This is a set of 5 cards, mostly birthday since they seem to be the most used type. I kept the decorating very simple since I wanted the embossing to be the main focus of the card. Below are close ups of each. I used colored ink pads my Tim Holts blending tool to color the embossed panels. I added  some ribbon, sentiments, flowers, and even some bling or pearls to decorate the cards. In a couple a cut a diagonal piece from the embossing panel where I added the sentiments.
