One of the things I liked the most about the SSS Always There release is how many floral embossing folders they released! There were so many pretty ones and today I colored the 3rd one (other two were on my blog hop post). It’s called the Blooming Beauties Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies as shown here:
I used Copics on the other two on THIS BLOG POST (blog hop) but today I went back to acrylic markers.
I embossed the Blooming Beauties embossing folder using white cardstock. I die-cut the three flower dies included and then embossed them as well. I then colored the background and the flowers with acrylic markers. I used Guangna Acrylic Markers that I purchased on Amazon but SSS does carry some by Altenew that I have linked below. I bought some of these at Create and they have the prettiest colors although they aren’t as wet as the ones I use. The wetness factor gives you time to blend colors. I’ve also tried Grabie but they are not as wet as the Guangna either. If you have tried some good ones let me know as I want them ALL haha!
One tip I want to mention is I used three colors of green on all of the leaves and stems but they just kind of all blended together. I also used the lightest shade between them for the background in that area. After I was done I decided to try using a really dark green to separate some of the stems and I think that dark color really helped them all separate and stand out.
I stamped a sentiment using the CZ Inside Greetings 1 stamp set yet again. I just love the fonts in this set and it has a lot of good ones for both the inside and the outside of a card. It is a set I will use over and over and how can you not have the dies for this greetings when they cut them out so perfectly?!!! I added some white splatter over the background although I was too scared to splatter so I used the end of a paintbrush dipped in the white paint. I also used some sparkling clear sequins around the sentiment.
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you are having a great weekend! Suzy
