New 3D Sunflower Empbossing Folder

I decided to use the new 3D Sunflower Embossing Folder to create my card for the Global Design Project Challenge this week.  It makes a huge impact with the large sunflower images and deep impressions it creates! 

For my card, I used the folder as a kind of ink press to push Petal Pink ink onto the surface of my card panel.  To create this look, you simply press your ink pad onto the indented side of your embossing folder.  This will cause the ink to sit on the flat surface of your card stock. I used the two tone Petal Pink card stock to run through the Stamp, Cut and Emboss machine to apply the ink for the embossed panel.

Once my panel was I embossed, I gently tore the edges of it to reveal the white core. Then I stamped my sentiment in Versa Mark ink on Basic White card stock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. 

I used a small ink blending brush and Cajun Craze ink to blend ink over the clear embossing to make the sentiment pop.  I wiped the ink off the white embossing with a soft towel to remove excess ink and reveal the bright white sentiment.

I used a fine detailed glue pen to adhere the sentiment strips after I had fussy cut them out, then set the panel aside to complete the next section of the card.

I cut a piece of 4" x 5.25" Cajun Craze two tone card stock and dry embossed it using the Forever Plaid embossing folder.  I used a sanding block to gently sand a few areas of color off to reveal the white core beneath it, then adhered it to an A2 Basic White card base.

Next, I added dimensionals to the back of the Petal Pink embossed panel and adhered it to the card base. 

The last step in creating my card was to adhere the Petal Pink woven ribbon to the card front with tear and tape. Then I added a linen thread bow and frayed the edges of the ribbon to add a few more details. 

The 3D Sunflower Embossing Folder will be available July 1st. This is a large embossing folder measuring 6" x  8.5". The impression it makes is absolutely stunning!  I can't wait to see all the gorgeous projects that are going to be created with it!
