Hey crafty friends - welcome! I recently bought a new Memory Box embossing folder named Geometric Crystals (enabled by Trina of Phamtastic Design - see her beauty with it HERE on the MB blog!). With the name including geometric, it must be perfect for challenge #19 at Let's Squash It!!. Gail & Jo want to see dry embossing with geometric/repeating patterns.
Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 Card; Poptone Black Licorice;
Neenah Solar White; Tim Holtz watercolor paper; vellum
Embossing folder - Memory Box Geometric Crystals
Stamps - Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background
Dies - Hero Arts Butterfly (retired)
Other - Tim Holtz Distress Markers; Park Lane gem;
I embossed a piece of watercolor paper and scribbled some Distress Marker in each square well. You can emboss the reverse way and get some gorgeous raised squares too - I'll try that soon! Spritzed the panel so the water moved around, then heated it til dry. Rubbed a Tumbled Glass ink pad across the raised border lines. Matted on black, then white and added to A2 card. Die cut a black butterfly and a vellum oval. Added to card along with a sentiment strip - done!
I'm also adding this to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #37 since my embossing folder is getting first play today.
Thanks for stopping and have a crafty day!!
What a neat effect with that embossing folder! Pretty card!

ReplyDeleteFabulous card Linda
ReplyDeleteFabulous depth with your geometric square embossing Linda. Love the mix of bright colours you've added to the background. Your silhouette butterfly is so pretty over top. xx
ReplyDeleteAren’t you glad you bought that EF? 😉 This is so pretty, especially in rainbow colours… great job watercoloring the wells. The black butterfly is a fab contrast.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter.
Me again… forgot to mention that this colourful creation would qualify in this month’s challenge at MB.
