Hi
there,
It’s Karen, sharing this Mixed
Media Wonderful Friend Card that I created with the Bella Rose and
Honeycomb Embossing Folders, and the Cut N Boss machine. I shared
the fun use of the Bella Rose embossing folder with inks on an album cover in a
previous post. Today, I’m using some more painted Bella Roses on a card with
some mixed media elements. If you missed
the tutorial on how I painted the embossed Bella Roses, please check out the
tutorial, here.
I coordinated this card with some crinkled ribbon, embossed script, embossing
powder and gesso. The Mixed Media Wonderful Friend Card measures 5 ½ x 5 ½. I
absolutely love the distressed look of the card. Take a peek at my tutorial
below.
Supplies:
Black Cardstock (5 ½ x 11)
Watercolor paper (8 ½ x
11)
Gesso
Watercolor Ink
Aqua Painter
Worded Stamp
White Embossing Powder
Versamark Ink
Ribbon
Scripted Words
Adhesive
Step 1:
Place 8 ½ x 11 sheet of watercolor paper into the “Bella Rose”
embossing folder. Close the folder and insert into Cut N Boss by Craftwell. Remove the embossed watercolor paper
from the Cut N Boss and the embossing folder.
Step 2: Using an Aqua Painter, paint the
embossed roses with choice of colors and trim down to layering card size.
Step 3: Emboss
sentiment onto black cardstock. Unevenly emboss the edges to give the sentiment
a distressed looked. Secure sentiment to card embossed layer with ribbon.
Step 4: Using the Honeycomb embossing folder and Cut N Boss
by Craftwell, emboss a 5 ½ x 11 piece of black cardstock.
Step 5: Fold the
black cardstock in ½ and emboss the edges. Layer card pieces together with
adhesive. Add bow and ribbon.
Step 6: Using a
paintbrush, tap gesso over card and highlight ribbon with gesso. Let dry and
continue embellishing as desired.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope that this Mixed Media Wonderful Friend Card has inspired
you to paint your embossed roses and incorporate them into your projects.
Karen
Wonderful technique and very elegant card. Tfs
