Seaside Wishes Sketch

This week there is a new sketch for the Global Design Project Challenge and for my card I have used the Seaside Wishes Bundle, which comes with a hybrid embossing folder. I have replaced the circle in the sketch with the three Sand Dollars from this hybrid embossing folder.

I tapped some ink into the embossing folder and spritzed with water, then added in the watercolour cardstock and ran this through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. Once dry, I then went back and die cut them out. Whilst the folder is designed to cut and emboss at the same time, I decided because i was adding the ink into the folder, I didn’t want to also add a die cut into the mix too.

The background panel is embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder, and the white panel is embossed with the Seaside Wishes Folder for a mix of textures.

I cut the strips of Gold foil and attached them to either side of the white card, to be a little more frugal with the foil cardstock.

The gold ribbon is already 1/8″ (3.2mm), but I wanted it to be even thinner, so I cut this down the length of the ribbon to create these thinner strands of gold.
