With Sympathy Moth Card ~ Simple but bold embossing

Hello, Gaylynn here.  Thanks for stopping by.  For today, I am sharing simple but bold embossing.  In this sympathy card, I show a way to make the large moth pop with white heat embossing on color cardstock.

This stamp can be used for almost any occasion or theme.

Helpful tips:

In summary, to make this simple but bold embossing effect, begin by selecting color cardstock and vellum paper. First, add powder to the color cardstock panel to prepare for heat embossing. Then, stamp the large moth or butterfly using watermark ink. Next, cover the moth stamping with white embossing powder and then heat set. Also, stamp the sentiment onto a strip of heat-resistant vellum using metallic gold dye or pigment ink. Then, cover the sentiment stamping with clear embossing powder and heat emboss the sentiment. Once dry, use a dry paper towel to wipe away any powder from the panels. Next, trim or die-cut the moth and sentiment panels to fit the card front. Finally, layer it all onto the card base with added gold drops or gems to finish.

This is another look at the card.

Finally, see this quick video process below.
