Double Embossed Cards

One of my customers asked if we could do double embossed cards at a workshop, so of course I had to experiment to find one that would be suitable (not to complicated) & have a few samples to show them as well.
Everybody loves Coastal Cabana.
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Itty Bitty Banners & Six-Sided Sampler.
Textured Impressions Embossing Folders: Honeycomb & Designer Frames.
Colours: Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay Whisper White & Jet Black Stazon.
Punches: Elegant Butterfly & Bitty Butterfly.
Framelits: Itty Bitty Banners


Butterflies are watercoloured with a bit of Dazzling Diamonds added.
"Happy Birthday" banner is also watercoloured.

Same card as above with different colours; Summer Starfruit & Pear Pizzaz.
Sponged the outside edges of the whisper white with summer starfruit first, then embossed before adding pear pizzaz with the sponge lightly over the starfruit.


Same as above without the sponging for a crisp clean look (that was until the card was dropped onto an ink pad).

I watercoloured the bird with colours from the Sweet Sorbet dsp, not that I need to because I ended up using the piece with only two neutral colours in it anyway.

I stamped the bird on Sahara Sand card stock with black stazon ink, then coloured with white chalk pen.

Just thought I'd quickly add in a link to a tutorial for this technique, because I haven't had a chance to do one myself.
