Simple Letter Press Positive & Negative Card

Here is a very simple but very effective way of making a super quick card using only an embossing folder, some ink and cardstock. I used watercolour card for this for texture, but you could use regular cardstock. It goes without saying that you can do this in any colour or mixture of colours you like.

I took two pieces of white Watercolour Cardstock, both the same size. I used Rusty Hinge Distress ink to ink up one side of my chosen embossing folder (here Hibiscus) and ran it through my machine. I repeated this using the opposite side of the embossing folder . This gave me a letterpress look of both the emboss and deboss.

I then stamped 2 different sentiments and blended around the edges with Antique Linen and lightly with spices marmalade. I matted this onto card that I had distressed around the edges using just Antique Linen distress ink.

To finish my card, I took the card base, which I made from Kraft card and layered on a piece of watercolour card which I had blended with Antique Linen and Spiced Marmalade distress ink. I then added my Toppers using Cosmic Shimmer glue and added the sentiments using 3D glue gel.

I hope you like this very simple but effective card. Please visit again very soon. I love reading your comments so thank you so much for leaving them.
