Something Saturday - Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder

 Hi There Creators,

last Saturday I showed you this embossing folder: Sunflowers 3D Embossing Folder, which is absolutely gorgeous! Its a large A5 sized folder.  Today I thought I'd show you how I created the 2 pieces I showed off last week, you'll need (obviously the embossing folder!), a Stampin' Brayer, inks and Blending Brushes.

And here's what I created: I ended up cutting one of them into 1/4's and doing something different with each 1/4

then the next one I cut up into 2 long strips 

If you've watched the video, you'll know I had to cut out a section owing to inking it up wrong, so I've cut this next one in 1/2 the other way, and created these 2 cards:

then lastly I kept one whole and created an A5 sized card front from it:

With this one I ended up embossing another piece and cutting some flowers out to add them up on dimensionals.  I'm quite proud of it and hubby reckons its one of my best cards (high praise!)  Absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with it (other than displaying it in my class room🤣)

One of things I thought I should highlight to you is that I decided to use my fine tip glue pen to add an interesting "plastic'y" texture to some of the flowers,  usually I paint it on pretty thick to give a definitive shine, but this time I painted it on thinly and let it dry and you can see it gives a slightly wet/shiny look to it - must remember this in the future!

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope these cards inspire you to create

God bless love
