Hello! Today I'm sharing a card inspired by one made by Karen Ksenzakovic. It's a pretty and easy way to add color to a design for a big impact. Let's take a look.
I stated by cutting a mask with an open area of 2" x 3". This was laid over my card stock and I applied 3 different inks with Blending Brushes. I love the colors and how they remind me of a sunset.
Once the color was applied it was embossed with a 3D folder called Lazy Daisy. The color blended area really pops and shows off the embossed detail.
By the way, the colors I used are 3 of our NEW 2026-2028 In Colors: Barely Blue, Crisp Cantalope and Hydrangea Hue. This is a sneak peek as they won't be available for a couple weeks. Mark your calendar for May 5th when our NEW catalog goes live!
A mat was added to frame the embossed layer and help it pop even more! A simple little greeting was added and kept simple. One tiny Dot helps draw your eye to the greeting without distracting from the beautiful colors.
One more thing.... don't forget to decorate your envelope! Even just a little bit makes it special. Here you can see I embossed the flap to match the card. It will be a nice surprise when they go to open the envelope!
It's very simple yet looks more involved than it really is. Why not give it a try? What colors would you use? The possibility is endless!
