What happens when you ink blend before embossing instead of after?
In today's video, I'm sharing one of my favorite floral cardmaking techniques using the beautiful Sakura Blossoms Bundle from Altenew. I'll show you how combining stamping, stencil coloring, and 3D embossing creates gorgeous texture, then I'll share a second variation that skips stamping for a softer no-line look.
You'll also learn:
• How I align stamped images with embossing folders
• My favorite stencil blending tips
• How I ink the embossing folder to create a beautiful background
• Tips for getting crisp, deep embossing
