Ink Blending with the New Sunflower Embossing Folder – Hop Abroad Instahop

Hello Crafty Friends!

I’m so excited to be part of this month’s Hop Abroad Instahop! Our theme is one of my absolute favourites – Ink Blending. Such a simple but beautiful technique that always gives that WOW effect.

If you love colour and texture as much as I do,If you love colour and texture as much as I do, then I am sure you will love this brand-new Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder (yes, it’s finally here!), and oh my goodness — the detail is just breathtaking.

Here is my project

Sunflower Embossing Folder

Super crisp, deep embossing – those petals lift right off your cardstock!
Perfect for any season – change the colours and it works for summer, autumn or even sympathy cards
Looks amazing with colour blending, gilding, inking, or even just plain white!

For my card, I chose three beautiful colours:
Misty Moonlight – a soft navy that adds rich, calming depth
Lost Lagoon – a gorgeous teal that blends like butter
Old Olive – a classic earthy green that pairs perfectly with florals and picked the base card Night Of Navy.

Together, these colours gave a soft garden feel. The ink blending flowed effortlessly across the raised areas and made the sunflowers pop beautifully. It’s one of those techniques that looks fancy — but is actually super simple!

I splatter some of the Basic Black Ink and Whisper White Ink to the background along with Wink of Stella,
I die-cut the sentiment using Gold Foil Sheets with Basic Black from the Sweet Blooms Bundle.
