I finally got some time to play with this technique I have been itching to try! I was inspired by Ilda Dias and Barbara Tarayao and their talented creations.
I took out the Branching Flowers embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. I embossed it onto some white cardstock. Using the backside of the embossed image, I coloured the flowers with Mustard Seed + Picked Raspberry distress ink. Then, I used a sponge dauber to colour the leaves with Rustic Wilderness distress ink.
Next, I took out Scorched Timber distress oxide ink and dragged the ink pad across the entire panel. I love how it highlighted the details in the flower and gave a great rich colour to the background!
I added a simple 'enjoy' die cut sentiment in gold glitter paper. I wanted a hint of that same glitter paper on the side of the panel to tie it all in. Can't wait to play around some more with this technique!
