Embossed Monochrome Technique Card

This Embossed monochrome technique card is more simple to make than it may appear! Check out the easy steps!

Picking a single color and adding a little gold can really make a card that pops. Additionally, coloring in the stamped images with markers of the same color is a fun monochrome technique for your next project!

I designed this card as part of the design team for Joy of Sets. Today starts our monthly challenge for November. Give the challenge a try! I’d love it if you’d join in by picking any row, column, or diagonal row of this Tic-Tac-Toe grid for your project and link it here!

For this challenge, I chose the middle row: Emboss, Metal, and Baker’s Twine.

Embossing is one of my favorite techniques, and it pairs so great with this gold foil that looks like metal! Adding a little baker’s twine completes the card.

I wrote out how to get this fun effect on your cards below:

The Embossed Monochrome Technique:

Cut your Cardstock:

• Cherry Cobbler: 8 1/2” x 5 1/2”, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
• Gold Foil: 5 1/4” x 4”
• Real Red: 5” x 3 3/4”

Stamp and Emboss:

• With Versamark, stamp a few flowers and leaves at the top and bottom of the Real Red layer.
• Sprinkle with gold embossing powder. Tap off the excess. Then heat until it is shiny.
• Color in the flower with the Cherry Cobbler Blends markers.
• Next, stamp the sentiment in the center with black ink.

Adhere:

• Adhere the embossed layer to your gold layer.
• Cut 18” of matching ribbon or twine and tie it around the left side of your layers.
• Lastly, attach your layers to your cardbase.
