Sept Dry Embossing with Re-inkers Watercoloring

Time for our Group of Seven Cardmakers September Dry Embossing

with Re-Inkers Watercoloring Technique!

Click on link above for all the technique details and card samples by the cardmakers:-)

The Video is a must see!!!!

3D Embossing with a Fun Twist by Devid Roodenburg

I began by creating 6 backgrounds using Distress Ink Re-inkers, 

I finished 4 backgrounds into cards and I am saving the other backgrounds

 for future cards:-)

I loved all 4 cards,  but I think this is my favorite:-)

I went step by step following exactly the video for each background!!!

Card #1 Supplies

Stamps: None

Paper: Fluid 100 Hot Press Watercolor Paper,  Neenah Solar White Crest Smooth 5" square cardbase.

Inks: Distress Ink Refills: Wilted Violet,  Broken China, Tumbled Glass Scattered Straw. VersaFine Clair Nocturne Pigment Ink.

Accessories:Glass Mat,  # 12 paint brush,  Spellbinders "Beautiful Blooms" 3D EB Folder.  STAMPlorations HUGS Die.  Craft Foam to pop up image. Connect Glue.

TIP:  I used a different Black Pigment Ink,  but did not work well.  I ordered Versafine Clair Nocturne Pigment Ink from Amazon and received it quickly:-)  I used the Nocturne over my 1st try and I got a sharp Black image...  Again...follow the video and you will have awesome results!!!!!

TIP:  I used the tip in the video to use paper towels and rubbing alcohol to clean the black ink off the 3D EB Folder.  It worked great..just be sure to have enough paper towels handy.  You can control the messiness:-)

Group of Seven Ink Blending without Ink Lifting

My Group of Seven Cardmakers Ink Blending cards without color lifting this time..

Click on the link above for all the Details!

I am adding my card to the Blog Linky:-)

All the DOX Ink Blending videos by Kristina Werner were VERY Helpful!

I used STAMPlorations "Christmas Candles Large" stamp!

I used Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Die to cut a 3" x 4"

Fluid 100 Hot Press 100% Cotton layer for ink blending.

Used TH's Blending Sponges with handles to blend the 3 DOX Inks: 

Picked Raspberries, Candied Apple and Wilted Violet.

I used Kristina's technique of blending Lots of ink colors.

I let my ink blended layer dry overnight...This is key to getting your

layer completely Dry!!! If not dry your Embossing Powder will stick!!

Covered ink blended layer with Rabbit Hole Designs Anti- Static Powder and 

stamped Candles using SSS White Premium Pigment Ink.  Then

heat embossed image.

I did not lift the ink from the stamped lined candles images

on this card because I really liked the colored candles:-)

Placed main image in MISTI and stamped and heat embossed the SSS

"Jolly Snippets" sentiment with SSS White Premium Pigment Ink.

Next used an A2 Neenah Solar White Crest Smooth 110# cardstock

to dry emboss the Sizzix 3D Fallen Leaves background layer,

which I attached to A2 Neenah Solar White card base.

Popped up main image with Craft foam and attached to 3D layer

and Done!  I was very pleased with the results:-)

******************

I am sharing a 2nd Christmas card using the same Ink Blending Technique 

without Ink Lifting as my 1st card.

I used the same Hot Press Papers and Neenah White Cardstock,

Ink Blended DOX Squeezed Lemonade, Lucky Clover and Mermaid Lagoon

 and let piece sit overnight to Dry!

Then added Anti-static Powder, stamped STAMPlorations "Christmas Gift Large"

using white pigment ink and Heat Embossed.

Then used MISTI to stamp the STAMPlorations "Homespun Christmas" 

sentiment using Memento London Fog Dye Ink.

Added blue and green rhinestones from my stash, 

popped up image with craft foam and attached to card base

and Done! 

I am so happy to have 2 more cards for my Christmas Stash:-)

Thank you for visiting...Love and Hugs,
