Coloring Embossing Designs with Ink by Nina Marie (5:50)
The videos were very helpful:-)
My 1st card using the Sizzix Poinsettia 3D EB Folder and
Water Coloring on Mixed Media paper.
I dry embossed the Sizzix Poinsettia 3D EB Folder on Strathmore Mixed Media
cardstock because I was using Kuretake Gansai Tambi "Gem Colors"
Water-based Pigment Inks: Gem Red, Gem Green and Yellow Gold.
It has a beautiful subtle shine in the light.
I tried, but my camera was not able to pick up the shine..
Next I trimmed the A2 image and cut into quarters.
Attached to Hero Arts Gold Metallic Paper from my stash using
Connect Glue.
Added the Altenew Gold Sequins and then stamped with Archival Jet
Jet Black ink the sentiment from Colorado Craft Co. Slimline Poinsettias set.
Attached card front to Neenah 115# Solar White cardstock and Done.
I LOVED the results and the tactile feel of watercoloring the raised
3D Embossed poinsettias:-) I got better with each card! The small aqua pen
was very helpful in staying inside the images.

My 2nd card using the same Sizzix Poinsettia 3D EB Folder on SU Real Red CS.
I dry embossed the 3D Poinsettia EB Folder on an A2 size SU Real Red Cardstock.
I got a nice deep embossed image.
I tried swiping my SSS white pigment ink pad over the image, but did not
like how it was turning out...not enough control.
So used my Altenew mini blending brushes (3 in a set) using the smallest
brush for a Soft Looking Card with White Pigment Ink. When done I used
SU Real Red Blending Marker to outline the leaf veins.
I trimmed the 3D EB image with Spellbinder Rectangular Hemstitch Dies for the framing.
Added silver gel pen for the center of the flowers.
Stamped with MISTI the CCC Slimline Poinsettias sentiment
using Archival Black Ink.
Attached main image with Connect Glue to Neenah 115# White cardstock
base and Done! It looks like I swiped the ink even though I used my way:-)
Very happy with the results!

Dry Embossed, Green CS watercolored with Distress Ink card.
My 3rd poinsettia themed card using the same 3D Embossing folder.
The other day I Dry Embossed 4 red, 4 green, 4 white and 4 mixed media
A2 card fronts using the Sizzix 3D Poinsettia Folder. That will eventually
give me 16 Christmas cards to add to my stash:-)
I dry embossed my poinsettias on SU Pear Pizzazz A2 sized cardstock.
I used Distress Ink "Mowed Lawn" to watercolor the poinsettias using
a damp Altenew Detail Blending Brush and #2 WC paint brush.
The cardstock handled the DI because I used very little water.
I let the image dry completely and then die cut with SPL Square Hemstitch
Dies for the framing. Stamped the SSS "Jolly Snippets" sentiment using
Archival Jet Black ink.
Attached to a 4" x 4" Neenah 110# Solar White Crest card base with Connect Glue.
Added silver gel pen to the centers of the flowers and Done!
Tip: On the 2nd and 3rd cards I carefully replaced the images into the
3D Poinsettia EB Folder and ran thru my Big Shot...whew...
a perfect match!
2nd Tip...I have a set of 3 different sized Aqua pens and I used the smallest sized pen
for painting on the 1st card.
Then used a #2 WC paint brush for the 3rd card.
Much easier to stay inside the images using small Aqua pen and paint brush.
I used the Altenew Detail Blending Brush (ordered SSS). I used the smallest brush.
********************
I am so pleased with all 3 of my cards and look forward to using the techniques
again. All the girls at Group of Seven Cardmakers would love to see
you add your cards to our Linky, which is active until the 25th of August.
Thank you for visiting and hope you are staying cool and creative indoors!
