I don't know if you saw my post yesterday, but today I have another card made with one of the 5 embossing folders/die bundles that were in the SSS Let's Chill release. I have posted 2 of the 5 so far and tonight I have number 3. Then tomorrow I'll post number 4. Eventually I'll get to number 5 haha. These folders are all florals which are my favorite things to color as you probably know. I love coloring embossing folders with Copics as they just go on so smoothly and the raised edges makes it easy to stay in the lines. I love the way they look colored also! First, here are the two I have already done if you haven't seen them:

And now for the Floral Harmony Embossing Folder and Die:
I first embossed the Floral Harmony embossing folder on white cardstock using a Ranger Mini Mister to lightly dampen the paper before running it through the die-cut machine. I also always run it through 3 times so I get the best embossed image possible. I then colored all of the flowers in with Copic markers. I also colored the background behind the flowers with soft yellow markers.
I cut this piece down an little and adhered it to a bright pink card base. I then found a sentiment in my stash to use on it that matched perfectly. It was from the CZ Love Garden Greetings stamp and die set that came out a while back. I always save extra sentiments I don't use so I can use them on future cards and it saves so much time when you just pull one out and it works perfectly! I attached that to the bottom of the card so I didn't cover up any of the flowers. I embossed it with Ranger Cactus Flower embossing powder.
I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System with the new set of Delightful Dragonfly Hot Foil Plates. I used Rainbow Stripe foil and this one turned out to be just the right colors to match the card. I used foam tape behind the body and turned the wings up slightly and attached it to the top of the card. I also added some sparkling clear sequins around the sentiment.
Come back tomorrow to see my post using the Alstroemeria Embossing Folder and Die (although I haven't used the dies in any of these posts yet haha). And finally I'll start working on the Graceful Butterfly Set. This one I used today called the Floral Harmony embossing folder might just be my favorite though as I love all the different flowers in it! Have a great weekend friends and thanks for visiting! Suzy
