Creative Way to Use the Sunflower Embossing Folder

Today’s share is quite a fun one with the Sunflower Embossing Folder, inspired by Jean Wood on a demonstrator-only Facebook group. (One of the many perks of joining my team is access to a lot of demonstrator sharing groups and events). I liked her technique and used it to to create this pretty card:

The star of the show is the Sunflower Embossing Folder, a gorgeous, bold design. For this technique, I’ve used the debossed side, or the side where the flower images are recessed.

First, go over the image with your background color. I used Pecan Pie for this sample. Using the ink spots is best practice, if you have them. Otherwise, use the standard ink pads with a very light touch.

Next, use sponge daubers and add color to the flowers and leaves. Your beautiful panel is now ready!

    Also providing colors which give alternative ideas for the use of the
