Freshly Made Sketches #718


Hello, and Happy New Year!
Are you refreshed and ready for another year of Freshly Made Sketches
Amy brings us Sketch #718 and it looks like this.
 
I had several ideas in mind and settled on an embossed background technique that 
I learned from the talented Therese Calvird on YouTube.
 

Basically, you use a 3D embossing folder on patterned paper then swipe white pigment
 ink over the raised areas. And that's it. Adding glitter to the wet ink is optional but 
you can do without and the results are still amazing!

My folder of choice was Altenew's Magnolia Dreams and I made sure to use a pigment
ink pad with a firm, flat surface. I used a pad of Craft Consortium paper and my
sentiment is from CZ Designs. 

Be sure to check out Therese's tutorial and give this technique a try, and join the
challenge if you can. You have until Monday, January 12th at 3PM EST to link up
 your card

  2. I had not thought of embossing some of this inkdrop paper, Donna! What a fantastic idea and I love the inking over top! Another inspiring card, my friend!
