Water Garden

Here I have used the amazing new 3D Embossing Folders from Crafters Companion to create a card to suit any occasion. I've added bright bursts of colour with Brusho that suit the design.

I used watercolour card and a Tonic Die to create a deckled edge square measuring 4 1/4'', then embossed it using the  Country Garden 3D Embossing Folder. Then I selectively added the Brusho, suing Scarlet, Gamboge, Sea Green and Leaf Green before spritzing with water. The embossing is so deep that none of the detail was lost. I sealed my piece with a couple of layers of Spray n Shine.

To create the skylike background, I took a piece of Sheen Stamping card measuring 5 3/4'' square. I embossed with a Textures folder from Crafters Companion. I blended colour onto this using Blueprint Sketch, then Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks to darken the edges.

I stamped my sentiment and cut out using the same frame die, this time moving it after the first cut to get the smaller size that I wanted.. I then added the same colour Distress Inks as used for the background.

Using Centura Pearl White, with a hint of Silver, I made a 6'' Square base card. All of the edges of the layers were edged with silver using a Pebeo Silver 4 Artist Marker pen. I layered up, finally adding the sentiment with Collall 3D Glue Gel.
