Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we sharing projects made using online exclusive products. I have used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder with the carved wood technique to make a dramatic anniversary card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the sunflower carved in burnt wood card, you will need:
Very Vanilla card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Very Vanilla card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 4¼” by 2½”
I embossed the Very Vanilla panel with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.

With the embossed (raised side) facing down I dragged the Crumb Cake ink pad across the panel. Next, I dragged the Pecan Pie ink and across the panel and finally the Early Espresso ink pad. This builds up the depth of colour and gives the burnt look to the background.

Using a Sponge Dauber I coloured the flower petals with Darling Duckling ink. I added Crushed Curry ink to the base of each petal to add depth. The flower centres were coloured with Sponge Daubers using Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze ink.

Mossy Meadow ink was used to add ink to the leaves. The embossed panel was then glued to the Early Espresso layer and then to the Very Vanilla card base.

The sentiment, from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink in the centre of the 4¼” by 2½” piece of Very Vanilla card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
