Altenew Farmhouse Florals Embossing Folder

 Probably my favorite technique for 3D embossing folders is to emboss Solar and/or Lunar Pastes.

I used black 110 lb cardstock, lightly embossed the image. By that, I mean I ran it through my Big Shot but with barely enough pressure to leave a light impression. I did this so I could see where I wanted the pink shades of Lunar Paste. I used a flat foam blending tool to apply the pastes, as always.

You can see it’s not exact, I wanted some of the pink to blend in with some of the Crocodile Tears Solar Paste. I really like the shade of green here. Solar Paste is iridescent on white paper but really shines on black paper. 

I let the paste thoroughly dry and then rubbed black Archival Ink over the embossing folder and ran the paper through the Big Shot. The black ink is pushed into the recessed areas. I then took a bit of yellow Lunar Paste and with my finger applied the paste to a few areas as seen above.
