Hi everyone. I have another Beccy's Place freebie image called Christmas Lantern, and I also used an embossing folder which was another freebie with a magazine, but can't remember which one as it was a long time ago.
I printed the image in a soft grey colour this time and used my brush markers to colour with a waterbrush to apply them and fussy cut and backed it with some foam. I found a piece of white card and using the embossing folder then did what I did last time and sprayed it with a little water before sending it through my machine, and it definitely makes the embossing more pronounced. I then added the sentiment using Versafine Satin Red and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder before adding the topper to the card. I decided to add some yellow to give the glow of the lamp around it and using a brush I applied some Fosselized Amber Distress Ink and then adhered the lantern over it.
Thank you for visiting me here today and I'll see you again soon.

ReplyDeleteWow, this is a beauty Pat! The "glowing" lantern is beautifully coloured, you've really done a great job. I like that you chose a no-line technique for the colouring, it gives the extra "wow factor". The embossing is gorgeous too and makes a wonderful frame for the image.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
