Dry Embossed Painted Image

Hello, Crafters.

I hope you've enjoyed a lovely weekend!

 

 When I was  prepping for yesterday's video, I stamped and 

coloured the complete image before I started videoing. This 

enabled me to stamp an image, and show how I coloured 

one of the flowers, a leaf and two of the buds real time.  I then 

said that I'd finish colouring the image off screen once I'd

 finished videoing, and that I'd share what I decided  to do with

 it! Today's card is the result!  I haven't used this technique

 for quite some time, and  I'm oh so pleased with the result!

 

  After I'd finished  colouring the rest of the image, I dry 

embossed the complete layer using the  Basket Weave 

Dynamic Embossing Folder. As I had painted the image on 

one side, I sprayed just the reverse of the layer before

 putting it through the Big Shot.

  I used the HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment from the Itty Bitty

 Greetings Stamp Set, and punched it out using the Classic 

Label Punch.  I did consider stamping the image directly onto

 the layer before embossing, but decided against this idea. 

 My concern was that because it's a small sentiment, it could

 get lost once it was embossed, whereas keeping it on its own

 makes it stand out beautifully. I also think the Wink of Stella

 also shows up more than normal - although still not in the

 photgraphs - as it's sitting in different directions on the 

embossed area............if you know what I mean! ☺

 

I have one more card to share with you tomorrow using this same 

image - another no painting card, sort of! - and then I think

 it'll be time for me to move on!

That's about it from me today. 

I hope you have a lovely week, and until tomorrow, happy crafting.
