Cuttlebug emboss folder, Momento inks, Free stamp, Nestabilities, Ribbon
I saw a really fab technique over on Valentines Blog using ink on a Cuttlebug embossing folder so thought I'd give it a try. I ended up covered in ink with several disastrous attempts not turning out how I'd expected. In the end I used a brayer and Momento Bahama Blue ink to get a smooth surface before embossing. I used the Cuttlebug swirls folder in two colour ways.
The cute birdie image and swirl stamp were free with a card making magazine, coloured with Pro-Markers and the ribbon is from a Brenda Pinnick kit off QVC.
I'll be spending the rest of the afternoon scrubbing the ink off my hands and my embossing folder. Looking forward to using this technique again as it's messy, fun and I love the result!

I'm loving the colours on this one. Ink in the embossing folder technique is brill, isn't it messy, but brill. Have been experimenting with it too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Saturday.

Gorgeous card Victoria. The way you carried the swirl theme from the embossing to the mat and onto the image is wonderful. Thanks for making my colour choice look so pretty. Thanks for joining the Colour Create Challenge.

Gorgeous card Victoria and fabulous use of the colours and a Super cute image. One day I will be very brave and try this technique (I need courage as I am really messy with inks, everything elso come to that) You've mastered it beautifully.
