I did a fun debossed inky resist technique, with which you can make a lot of backgrounds quickly. They will all look different and have interesting textures and it is a great way to use embossing folders.
Here is the video showing you the process. You can also watch it directly on YouTube here. You will also find step-by-step photos and instructions over at Splitcoaststampers.
I made a whole bunch of backgrounds and didn't use all of them for cards yet. I used various 3-D embossing folders by Simon Says Stamp.
You can use them both for folders with a lot of details and folders which have a simpler pattern. This is the Simon Says Stamp Scandinavian Christmas.
Don't aim for a perfect look or remove all stray embossing powder. In fact, this background might be my favorite, because of all the stray embossing powder giving such great texture. This beautiful folder is the Simon Says Stamp Filigree Snowflakes.
The cards were embellished with foliage and branches which were die cut from various surfaces.
I used a mix of silver metallic, vellum, glitter and kraft paper for the foliage
The labels were stamped and die cut with Simon Says Stamp Mixed Labels and this sentiment comes from Let It Snow.
Test the technique with different folders, colors and embossing powders.
I hope you will enjoy this technique and that it will inspire you to use embossing folders in a new way.
Thank you so much for stopping by here today!
