Dry Embossed Painted Image

Hello, Crafters.

I hope you’ve enjoyed a lovely weekend!

When I was prepping for yesterday’s video, I stamped and

coloured the complete image before I started videoing. This

enabled me to stamp an image, and show how I coloured

one of the flowers, a leaf and two of the buds real time. I then

said that I’d finish colouring the image off screen once I’d

finished videoing, and that I’d share what I decided to do with

it! Today’s card is the result! I haven’t used this technique

for quite some time, and I’m oh so pleased with the result!

After I’d finished colouring the rest of the image, I dry

embossed the complete layer using the Basket Weave

Dynamic Embossing Folder. As I had painted the image on

one side, I sprayed just the reverse of the layer before

putting it through the Big Shot.

I used the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from the Itty Bitty

Greetings Stamp Set, and punched it out using the Classic

Label Punch. I did consider stamping the image directly onto

the layer before embossing, but decided against this idea.

My concern was that because it’s a small sentiment, it could

get lost once it was embossed, whereas keeping it on its own

makes it stand out beautifully. I also think the Wink of Stella

also shows up more than normal – although still not in the

photgraphs – as it’s sitting in different directions on the

embossed area…………if you know what I mean! ☺

I have one more card to share with you tomorrow using this same

image – another no painting card, sort of! – and then I think

it’ll be time for me to move on!

That’s about it from me today.

I hope you have a lovely week, and until tomorrow, happy crafting.

JanB.
