Inking Dry Embossed Panels / Spellbinders July 2025 Release

 Hi friends!

I'm here to share two cards made with a stunning Christmas Cameos 3d Embossing Folder from the July 2025 Release by Spellbinders. I love the ornate, vintage feel of this embossing folder and I knew I had to play with fun inking techniques with it. 

Card 1 on black card base

I embossed a piece of black card stock and worked on the flip side of the embossed piece (the side where the pattern is indented, not raised). I used white pigment ink to cover the black card stock from the non indented areas of the panel by swiping ink straight from the ink pad, by tapping the ink pad on it... And in the end by also brayering some ink on it for getting really good coverage.

Card 2 on white card base

In this version I embossed white card stock and again worked with the flip side of the embossed piece. I now used black dye ink for and did basically what I did with the first one... But I didn't try to achieve super well covered look but wanted this one to be even more vintagey looking. I finished the inking with swiping gold shimmery ink on top too -that ink pad of mine is very old and doesn't have much power left... but just enough for a subtle vintage shimmer!

I'd love to hear which one of the cards you like best... And then I encourage you to check out  Christmas Cameos 3d Embossing Folder and the whole July 2025 Release by Spellbinders.
