Spellbinders June 3D Embossing Folder of the Month

The June 3D Embossing Folder of the Month is "Island Style". I embossed a piece of acetate and then colored the backside of the piece. is easy to emboss, I used a thin piece by We R Memory Keepers (I don't think this is widely avaiable anymore) but I have used many kinds of thicker acetate which works fine. I used the same sandwich as I do when embossing cardstock.

It's a print but I chose to highlight the face by painting it with gold acrylic paint. The rest of the embossed image is colored with alcohol inks in green and blues. After it all dried, I used Distress Collage Medium to attach it to a cardfront. I put a thin coat onto the backside of the acetate, attached it to the card and then put a book on top of it to let it dry and adhere.

I diecut the drum from the Stitching Die of the Month and the gorgeous tropical florals are from the Large Die of the Month.

The New Winifred (Zebra) by Tim Holtz for Sizzix

Oh, Winifred, you are fabulous! I didn't have Winifred in the original larger size, I decided to get the smaller size because I like the way it fit on an A2 card, my go-to size card.

For the background, I used a piece of watercolor cardstock cut down to A2 size and sprayed it with Distress Spray Stains in Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Antiqued Linen, Rusty Hinge, Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo. I dried the paper in between layers and used the Vintage Photo for some spatters.

The hat and sunglasses are from the new smaller accessory set that fit the smaller animals. I used the hat and sunglasses.

The stems are from Wildflower Stems, these are older sets but are great basics. I used some from a few sets but really any one of the sets work. I inked paper with Antiqued Linen and then used a blending brush with some Walnut Stain ink to highlight the edges.

The sentiments are from Snarky Stickers.

Here's the image of both sizes Mini and the original Large:

Simon Says Stamp has the entire Large (original size) and MINI (new size in a bundle, plus many more combinations of bundles, linked below)

Please Note: When ordering these animals be sure to check which size you want. The new ones are smaller, called MINI. The accessories come in 2 sizes to fit the Large and Mini sized animals.
