Embossed Detail Die Cuts

T

Hello WOW! Friends, and welcome back to another Embossing Elegance post. Today I have a lovely card I created using several WOW! embossing powders including the Silk Road Trio. Oh my goodness! This trio is absolutely stunning.

I began by inking and then heat embossing three different card panels with each of the colors: Pomegranate, Silk Brocade, and Chinese Lantern. Then I die cut using the dragonfly die. I like to heat emboss before cutting an intricate die, because I think it's usually much easier. 

Next I cut the shadow sentiment from a Polished Gold heat embossed panel, and layered with a Black Glint embossed sentiment.

Before adhering, I splattered water onto a black panel of cardstock, and heat embossed with the Polished Gold. Did you know you could do that? Yup! Super simple! It gives a subtle and organic look to the splatters.

Finally, I layered over gold mirror cardstock and a black card base, and popped the sentiment up with foam tape before adding flat-backed gold beads. 

What do you think? I love when a card comes together that is a little different than what I originally planned. I think these three dragonflies are so pretty and delicate. Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. You can find a short process reel on Instagram HERE.

Big Hugs!
