Greetings!
Summer is my favorite time of year. I've had this beachy embossing folder just sitting on my desk and I couldn't let the season slip by without using it. I also wanted to try it with my favorite technique. I love the finished look of this card. Here is how I got it...
I inked up a white panel of card stock with blueprint sketch mermaid lagoon and salty ocean and tea dye inks. Then I ran it through the embossing folder. I then re-inked it with the same inks. I like how the raised sections picked up the ink differently than the flat paper. Once the ink was dry, I used a white pigment ink pad and gently drug the pad across the paper. Only the highest point of the design caught the white ink. To finish it all off I die cut some seashells and a sentiment to add to the card. I wanted the background to be the star of the show, so I didn't want anything to take away from it.
