A project from our live show HSN PRODUCT INSPIRATION - Join me for a fun filled show broadcast 25th August 2026 · 25/08/2026
Create a striking embossed fairy card with dramatic contrast. Using black card stock and white ink, you'll produce an ethereal fairy image surrounded by a delicate floral wreath that appears to float against the dark background. The technique involves embossing and selective inking to highlight the raised details for a frosted, magical effect.
1Place a piece of black card stock into the embossing folder with the raised side of the design facing up.
2Place the black card with the embossing folder into your embossing machine. Run it through the machine to create the raised embossed design on the card.
3Open the embossing folder and carefully remove your embossed black card, revealing the raised design.
4Tap a white pigment ink pad gently onto the embossed design on the black card, focusing on the fairy's body, wings, and facial features to highlight the raised details.
5Apply white ink to the embossed image using the ink pad, ensuring you get ink into all the corners and details, particularly around the neck and shoulders of the fairy.
6If you get any harsh white lines from the embossing, blend them out by gently dabbing with the white ink pad to soften the effect and create a more subtle finish.
7Apply white ink to the fairy's wings using a stamp pad or ink applicator. Dab the ink gently over the embossed wing details to make them sparkle and stand out against the black card.
8Allow the white embossing ink to dry completely before using or displaying your card. The finished piece shows a beautiful fairy image embossed in white on black card, surrounded by a delicate floral wreath.
