Stenciled Dry Embossed and Gradient Oxide Ink Cards

Hello there, Waleska from craftinglovew, thank you stopping by today. My post is part of the Heat Embossed /Dry Embossed Techniques with Stencils the Design Team is sharing. I decided to use a Dry Embossed technique to share with you.

CARD DETAILS:

To start with my cards I did a dry embossing technique with the Hearts Galore Craftin Desert Divas Stencil. To do this you will need a die cutting machine, your normal plates and a silicone mat. Your sandwich will be:

1. Tab 1

2. Acrylic Plate 1

3. Silicone Mat

4. Piece of Paper you want to emboss

5. Stencil

6. Acrylic Plate 2

Run all this into your die cutting machine, you will find that is very tight, but it totally works great!!

After I have my Dry Embossed pieces I used different colors of Oxide Inks, a soft and a brighter color to add to the pieces. The soft for the entire front and the brighter color for the edges.

I used the brighter color also mixed with water to add water splashes to the piece for more interest.

I used the super sweet Garden Bugs Stamp set for this cards, I colored them with markers in the same colors from the dry embossed panels I created.

I adhere with 3D foam the cute bugs and I also adhere all the panels to black card bases.

To finish my cards I added glitter glue to the wings and some other parts of the stamped imgage and added the sentiment on a black strip with white embossing powder.
