Violet Flowers

Hi everyone,

The Group of Seven Cardmakers recently shared a new technique, Dry Embossing with Re-inker Watercoloring. Since I didn't have suitable black pigment ink for the technique, I used white pigment ink instead. You can find detailed technique instructions for this technique on the Group of Seven website.

Here's what I've made:

I was aware that using white pigment might result in a grainy look on the watercolored surface, so I decided to take advantage of the effect and used "Masonry Wall" embossing folder for the background.

I felt the wall panel needed a bit more definition, so I added a very thin violet foil matte (although you can hardly see it) to the back of the panel and raised the entire panel with foam tape. The violet flowers were die-cut from a piece of white cardstock with a double-sided adhesive sheet attached to it. 

I'm excited to see how this technique will stretch the use of my embossing folders.

Thanks for visiting me today!😊
