embossed Sympathy card

I created a card where I colored the debossed side. The embossing folder is from Spellbinders and is a 3D one.

I used various alcohol markers to color the debossed side. Then I dragged an ink pad over the top using a Lawn Fawn pool color. I decided it could be a sympathy card and used a greeting from Buddie Bonnie that she cut from her Silhouette machine. I made the background a dark gray, after changing the color two times previously, and the top to match the butterfly color. The butterflies match the card base and I cannot remember the color name. It is retired by Stampin Up a year ago.

This will be entered in the Triple B challenge, which I posted from my Splitcoast Stampers account. We have reached our maximum entries here on the blog, so I went there. Here is the challenge I entered it in: https://dd-tripleb.blogspot.com/2024/06/june-2024-challenge.html

My phone says today has a Heat Warning. It is supposed to be 92 which is hot, but not warning hot. Tomorrow is the warning hot day. I plan to get outside and walk before the heat, then I will be back in my craft room doing something. Enjoy your day!

    1. Thank you! I just got this folder and this is what popped into my head. I have used ink daubers and then swiped black over the top but not colored and used a light color ink. I like the results.

  1. Beautiful! Love your color choices and coloring with the embossing folder. Love the butterflies and your Bonnie sentiment.

    1. Thank you! I finally used something sent to me; I often just place them somewhere and forget about them.

  2. So beautiful. I really like that you coloured the debossed side as it gives a completely different look.
