Simon Says Stamp | Highlighting with Embossing Folders

Hello there, today I have a card to share using the Simon Says Stamp Holly Cardinal Embossing Folder. I know that cardinals are red, but for today, I have gone with blue for a frosty look! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.



I started off my card by placing a panel of Spellbinders Cosmic Sky ColorWheel Cardstock inside the Simon Says Stamp Holly Cardinal Embossing Folder. I then ran it through my die cutting machine and added ink blending around the edges using Altenew Navy and Jet Black Fresh Dye Inks. 


Using a Blending Tool, I added Altenew Cloud White Pigment Ink on top of the raised areas of the image. I placed the panel inside my Splat Box and splattered over Tsukineko Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz followed by Spellbinders Splatter White Opaque Watercolor mixed with a little water. It was then set aside to dry. 


Once dry, it was adhered to a white US A2 sized card base using tape runner adhesive. I die cut the 'season's greetings' sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp EZ Strips Reverse To You and Yours using the Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Labels 2.0 Dies. It was adhered to the card using thin black foam squares. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Clear Iridescent Stellar Sequins.

I always love this technique of highlighting the raised areas of an embossing folder, it works particularly well with a dark background. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it! I hope you have a wonderful day!
