Free to Fly With 3D Embossing


Sara Emily Barker http://sarascloset1.blogspot.com/ Free to Fly With 3D Embossing 1

Hi! I've had a little more time to play with my Tim Holtz Lumber 3D Texture Fade yesterday. And I experimented with my Laurel 3D Impresslits embossing folder for the first time. How I love these 3 dimensional miracles, and they couldn't be more on trend!

I used Distress Crazing Collage Medium, Distress paint, Oxide, and crayons along with the Lumber Folder to make my 'bark' background. If you missed my post on how to create faux barn wood using this embossing folder and similar supplies, you can check out my tutorial here.

I cut and embossed black card with the Lauren Impresslit and used one embossed side up and the other de-bossed side up. I colored them with Brushed Pewter Distress Spray stain, then applied a thin layer of Crazing, followed by Picket Fence crayon. I layered them over another pair of Laurels cut/embossed from white card blended with Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

 The butterfly is from the Botanical Layers pack, and I colored it with a splatter of gesso, a spritz of Brushed Pewter stain, followed by Antique Linen Distress Oxide. I edged with Frayed Burlap crayon.

I made a frame using Stitched Ovals Thinlits dies. I smudged on Picket Fence crayon and spritzed with Brushed Pewter. Again, I applied a thin layer of Crazing, and when dry, smudged with Black Soot crayon. I did the same thing to the black backing card.

I finished off with a Quotations Metallic Sticker blended with Frayed Burlap ink. I hope you enjoyed my mix of 'metal and wood'. Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs and Blessings!

  8. whoa! Sara Emily! GORGEOUSNESS! It really looks like you are a master of "wood burning" in your wood sculpture. It always amazes me how you transform mere paper into all kinds of other things like metal, wood or fabric. This is just lovely, and over the top without losing that rustic, old-world charm! Wishing you a fantastic week! hugs, de

  11. Your background is a work of art in itself! I love that faux wood with the crackle finish. I haven't seen these 3d sizzlets but I certainly need to check these out. That frame and butterfly are the perfect accent and focal point for this piece.
