Holiday Card Series 2022 - Day 6 - Ink Blending & Embossing Folder

[@chrise8563]

Absolutely delightful. So much sparkle and shine!! Thanks for the tip on how to adhere that thin border frame.

[@rebeccah1635]

Gosh this is so pretty! It’s like a beautiful misty, crisp winter day. I love it!

[@mollytraylor276]

Hi Kristina, I love this beautiful card! The white ink over the trees was the perfect touch, and the spray glitter... whaaaat? 🤌 😍 Beautiful!

[@lisaweiss681]

I like how you used the white to help bring out the embossed trees.

[@melissazabower339]

I've only been cRd making for a couple of years. When I watch a video and think, you should do the trees in white pigment ink, and then the artist does that -- it makes me feel like I'm learning! 😊 Thanks for being a great teacher!

[@ines-innesi7139]

I love it and i think I will start using embossing folders again. They are somewhere long forgotten. Thanks for inspiration. 🥰

[@leeminer1939]

Beautiful. Beautiful white on trees, gorgeous embossing plate, perfect amount of shimmer spray, just right size/color/all of sentiment. A winner, for sure.

[@carolestrawn8755]

I just used that Glitter Dust this morning. Whew! That is strong stuff. I sprayed one coat inside and then ended up taking everything outside to finish up. I love the look of it. I love your card and the look of white ink over an embossed image.

[@sherir4462]

I was thinking...how on earth is she going to get that thin strip rectangle on the card front, straight?! And then your talent comes through again! Genius and much less frustrating to use the inside cut out! Gorgeous card! Thank you for the tips!

[@ginamcdonald7854]

The colors for ink blending are perfect and I love the way you brought the trees out with the pigment ink. Stunning card!

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

So beautiful Kristina! So sparkly and the ink blending and embossing is gorgeous! xoxo

Absolutely stunning!!!

[@junebovenzi]

I’m curious why the spray glitter doesn’t react with the inked background?

[@kwernerdesign]

I don’t think it was wet enough.

[@laurasutton1551]

It's not water based probably

[@aliceadler4569]

Beautiful! 😍 Does that glitter dust get to your fingers if you touch it afterwards?

[@love_papercrafts]

love this

[@flowerlily1]

Another beautiful card! I so enjoy this series. Thank you! Have you tried wetting the paper on the back to do the embossing? Just a thought.

[@PattiHutch]

What a beautiful card and the color blending is always amazing! I do struggle with gluing anything on top of the oxide inks. Am I not getting it dry enough?

[@maureenkoppeser8420]

I love the card Kristina. I know you used the domed blending foams for the background, but did you use the domed or regular foam pads when you added the white ink? Thx

[@j9cardstock354]

So beautiful! Jeannine

[@leeconradi8918]

Beautiful card & techniqe Cristina. I was afraid you were going to cover all the ink blending but u didn’t. The vellumvnice touch!!!

[@joyklanke187]

Wondering if spraying on the back doesn't work when embossing?

[@laurasutton1551]

Run your vellum threw a xyron sticker maker you won't see the adhesive that way

[@andrealavigne7824]

You mentioned that you can add adhesive to the entire back of the vellum. Does that work with liquid glue as well? Or will that warp the vellum? I know a Xyron machine is an option, or something like StickIt, but just am curious if those are the only options. I don't know if dry adhesive would stick to the glittery inked background. Maybe...? Anyway, I love your card, Kristina! The white ink brings out the embossed trees so well, & I really like the blue background you did. I look forward to "seeing" you on Friday. In the meantime, take care, & have an awesome day! :)
