Hi Friends! Do you like embossing folders?  I’ll be honest – I get intimidated by them.  I don’t know what to do with them to make them “me.”  The new 3D embossing folders from the Simon Says Stamp Holly Jolly release are GORGEOUS and I made a point to use them for a project to share with you today. 

I’m using Daniel Smith watercolors to watercolor my 3D image from the Peony Bundle embossing folder.  After embossing a watercolor panel, I watercolored over the embossed image and painted on colors to give them depth.  Be sure to check out the video to see the process!

WATCH THE VIDEO:

The embossed image naturally draws pigment into the crevices where darker shades should be so I felt like that was super helpful!  However, I do need to say that I noticed the water moved differently over watercolor cardstock that has been pressed in an embossing folder.

When I was done watercoloring, I trimmed and splattered my panel with gold and white paint.  Gives it more texture and interest.  Since it dries quickly, I set it aside while I trimmed a sentiment from the Thinking of You Sentiment Strips.

To finish my card, I added some iridescent sequins and mounted my card over a card base using layer of craft foam for dimension.  I hope you enjoyed this project!  Thanks so much for stopping by today! ~Caly
