Beautiful Greetings

Hello Everyone and Welcome

I have a couple of cards to share with you today that I have made using one of Tim Holtz new 3D Texture Fades. So which one have I chosen to work with? No, its not 'Foundry', 'Mechanics' or 'Lumber' as you would probably expect from this grungy gal, it is infact 'Botanicals'. 

The card design is the same for both cards just the colours and sentiment differ.

Card 1

I used black cardstock for the embossed panels 

I dabbed a distress oxide ink pad over the embossed panel to colour the raised embossing. Then using my finger I rubbed the applied ink into the recesses. Can you believe the DOX I used was fossilised amber !! 

I then ran an old Black archival ink pad over the inked embossed panel and applied gilding wax to accentuate the fabulous embossing. these 3D folders sure do create an incredible impression!

So not really wanting to cover any of it up I simply added a word banner.

Now for Card 2

This was created in exactly the same way as Card 1. This time I used Picked Raspberry Distress oxide,

the same old black Archival ink pad, 

silver gilding wax instead of gold  

and again simply finished off with a word Banner so as not to cover much of the deep, rich 3D embossing! 

I hope you have enjoyed my double offering of 3D embossing today. Thanks Tim for 'enabling' with such an amazing product! Keep them coming ....... :)

I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
Frilly and Funkie 'Letter Perfect' Challenge

Hope you have a lovely weekend 

Until the next time, take care 

and

 keep on the happy side
