This month with Eileen Hull Designs we are Embossing. I grabbed my Floral Damask 3D Embossing Folder as it;s one of my favourites. I cut out the Mini Book in Sizzix Surfaces Rose Gold and then embossed. With this cover i wanted the Deboss on the outside of the cover as I had an idea for decorating it with my Sakura Glaze Gelly Rolls.
The Deboss gives you the perfect little well to flood with the Glaze pens.
And you can blend the colours together to create blends.
I used a light and dark blue along with a pale green with the light blue added to the veins of the leaves.
I carefully worked my way across the journal cover, the Glaze pens take wuite a while to dry and I didn't want to lean on them.
I decided in the end not to add the handle to the spine as it would hide the large flower, which I think is just gorgeous.
The pens pick up the metallic sheen from underneath which is a little difficult to show on camera.
I really love how the cover turned out and it was fun to play with my Glaze pens again, it's been a while since they were last out.
It kind of reminds me of Cloisonnet.
Now I have to be patient and make sure it is completely dry before I decorate the inside.
Happy Crafting.
