Now onto the card…today I have created a card using the new Fancy Ornaments Embossing Folder and dies.

I embossed the folder twice using Distress Watercolor Cardstock, then ink blended over one of the panels using Distress Oxide Inks then cut those ornaments out using the dies. I inked the edges of each ornament with Black Soot Distress Ink and a foam blending tool and gently bent them to give them a little dimension. I added a bit of shimmer and Gilded Foundry Wax to each ornament using my finger, and then set it with an embossing gun.

Once the ornaments were dry, I adhered them to my second white embossed panel. To finish my card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Graceful Holiday Greetings stamps and dies in white on black cardstock to make the colors pop, and die cut it with the matching dies. I hope you enjoyed learning how this card came together and here are a few more peeks at it for you 🙂 Be sure to see the hop list below to get to the next person on the hop!
