Debossed Butterfly Garden

Another debossed background using Archival Brilliance Pearlescent Purple ink on the raised portion of the SimonSaysStamp Wildflower Field 3D embossing folder. While attempting this techinque, I, like another stamp buddy made several backgrounds trying to figure it out. The embossed panel is Gina K Designs LemonDrop and instead of adding the same color ink with a brayer I decided to swipe the ink pad in a deeper shade over the debossed panel to cover up the pearlescent purple ink. The butterfly is Taylored Expressions Beautiful Butterflies die & foil combo and sentiment is also a TE that was previously stamped and die cut. Butterflies seem to make everything better, don’t they?

My card today will be shared with:

Can You Handle The Pressure — Anything Goes Embossing with a Twist of Butterflies.

Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care, be safe and stay cool.

  3. Your background is so pretty! Love the change you made to the technique by adding the darker ink to the debossed areas. Adds a lot of texture to your background.

  4. That background is gorgeous!! You did a great job on it. Your butterfly is so pretty. And yes, they do make everything better.

  5. Sensational my friend. I love what you did to make this such a stand out. And yes butterflies make everything better.

  6. As I mentioned to Golda, I wonder if we could mix the inks with perfect pearls to get the shimmer with what we already have? Also what if we used shimmery CS?
