How to Use Watercolours With 3D Embossing Folders + Video!

Have you tried any of the 3D Embossing Folders yet? Today I have 2 EASY ways to add watercolours to create a fun look.

But first… Did you know that this video is part of my Take 2 With Therese series of videos that I create for Altenew? You can check out the full playlist right HERE for more inspiration.

I haven’t played with these 3D Embossing Folders anywhere near enough and today I had such fun trying out different watercolour techniques with them.

My first idea uses the Woodless Watercolor Pencils to add colour to the beautiful Rose Bouquet 3D Embossing Folder.

Both of my cards feature the Fine Alphabet Die Set and the Birthday Builder for the sentiments.

I love how it has that antique look. Especially with the Ink Spray and added Antique Gold Sequins.

My second card uses the Daisies 3D Embossing Folder.

And this time I added colour using the Artists’ Watercolors.

And for a little pop, just 3 black enamel dots.

  1. These cards are absolutely beautiful Therese. I will need to give this technique a try. Once again, thank you for your inspiration ❤️

  2. Both are beautiful, and I loved watching you create each, but I do really LOVE the bold daisy version. It is exceptionally striking. Thanks for all the technique tips in your video!!

  3. Holy moley, Therese. Like WOW! I just don’t even have the words. Both cards are so beautiful, but the roses card takes my breath away. Absolutely gorgeous. Well done, my friend. 💕

  4. I missed this video when it came out, but I’m glad I caught up. I was riveted watching the progress of the cards especially the daisies. What a great result. Very clever to paint the centre’s dark first.
