Custom Embossed Embellishment Tutorial

Hello scrappy friends!!

Today we have a tutorial for you to help with this week's embossing challenge - or for future reference if you ever need it!

This month our talented DT Paola from Italy has created a step by step tutorial on how to use dry embossing to created custom textured embellishment to a scrapbook layout.

Let's get started...

1 step: we get some colored cardboard and some Sizzix textures

2 step: to emboss the cards we can create a play of light and dark evenly distribute the Brilliant White ink pad on the front of the texture

3 step: we have to pass the texture in the Big Shot

4 step: this is the effect on dark cardboard

5 step: on the light card instead use a dark ink pad

6 step: we can emboss other cards with different textures without adding color pads. Use different punches shapes and die cuts to make beaded embellishments (use thickness adhesive to create different thicknesses)

7 step: use embellishments for your layout

The finished layout!

Now it's your turn!! Come join in on our challenge this week!
