Allsorts challenge blog is celebrating their 17th birthday! Lots of
prizes this fortnight if you would like to join us at Allsorts!
Lots of embossing folder techniques on You tube lately and I had to try
this one. I used different embossing folders and colors and
came up with two very different looks.
kraft card stock. Gently swipe white pigment ink over the
raised areas. Next ink the flat side of your embossing
folder with your Distress Oxide color of choice and emboss
again in the same position in the embossing folder. Repeat
2-4 times until you get the look desired. I went with heavier color
on the flower one. You may need to swipe with white
pigment ink again. Create card as desired.

Your embossing folder technique looks incredible on kraft, and I enjoy how the soft white pigment ink brings out the raised details while the Distress Oxide layers add such rich depth, giving your floral design a bold, vibrant look and your birthday card a completely different mood, and the way you finished each piece with thoughtful die cuts and clean layouts creates two striking results that show just how versatile this method can be.
Great use of your EFs and techniques to make two wonderful and original cards.
Both done so beautifully!! Thanks for playing along our May challenge at Die Cut Divas.
These turned out so beautifully and a great way to use embossing folders.
Two super cards Donna, a very effective embossing technique.

I am going to try this!
It looks amazing!
Love what you've done with your inks and embossing folders - so many ideas to try
Both gorgeous cards Donna! I should use my folders more... x
You’re showing us some great technique examples for embossing. The first card turned out feminine and elegant whereas the second is to me more gender neutral. I love cards that can be used for whoever. Great look with white and colors and Kraft.
Embossing is just magical and it shows on both your beautiful cards Donna. Love the pinks in the first and the gorgeous mix of colours in the second.
Lovely cards and a fabulous way to demonstrate the embossing folder techniques.
Thank you for joining in with our May challenge "Anything Mixed Media Goes" at Creative Artiste Mixed Media. Good luck! x
Back to thank you for entering that gorgeous card into our challenge at Stamping Sensations Donna.

So much inspiration in this post, Donna. I really love the way you did the card for Seize the Birthday. Great variation of colors and like the Perfect Touch Arches, they are one of my favs. Thanks for playing along.
Both lovely cards Donna. I've never tried this technique, I must have a go.
Don't you just love the 3D embossing folders? I sure do and your cards are AWESOME! Thanks for the details & inspiration ... guess what I'm going to play with today! LOL . . .
