Have you ever added Texture to a design? It’s so easy to do and what I share today is just the tip of the iceberg!
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.
For both card designs I used the beautiful Craft Your Life Project Kit: Silk Art. It has a wonderful HUGE silhouette style flower as well as coordinating dies, colouring stencils and of course the 3D embossing folder, it’s the perfect kit for these techniques!
BUT what if you don’t have a kit like this? You can still achieve amazing texture results, why not try colouring or stencilling a bouquet and 3D emboss the whole panel? I did that with this card in this VIDEO right HERE.
My first idea was inspired by a recent card I created HERE. I had many requests to share how I made it so, by request here we go!
The flower was stamped and coloured with the Woodless Coloring Pencils. These pencils themselves add ‘texture’ but the real WOW comes when you coordinate it with the 3D embossing folder. It’s the perfect match!
I kept it simple by adding the Bold Thanks die cut into some beautiful Brushed Rose Metallic Cardstock.
My second idea was much quicker as I used the Simple Coloring Stencil Set to quickly colour the image.
I embossed this too to add 3D texture but also used some cute glitter for ‘extra’ texture lol.
I used the Nesting Hearts to create a window and added a quick sentiment from the Bold Sentiments Stamp Set.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.
I hope you are inspired to add some texture to your cards! And if you do, I’d love to see it so please tag me on social media!

Loving them both – but your pencil coloring makes these blooms come to life even BEFORE you emboss them!
Thanks for starting my day off in a beautiful way!

Thank you so much for your beautiful comments, they truly mean the world to me x
Love your cards Therese, but especially love the flowers inside the heart. It’s a great idea and so different ❤️
Thanks so much Dee, the blending stencils make these cards to quick and easy!
You are a dab hand with pencils…. Nah, EVERYTHING really, lol! I’m going to watch you create these beauties on the “ big” screen. Beautiful cards, Therese!
WOW! your pencil work is phenomenal! I admire your patience because I have absolutely NONE.
I love how Altenew coordinates their stencils with the embossing folder so even I am able to get great results.
Thank you for the idea on how to “stretch” my silhouette stamps!
So happy that you like these ideas June. I agree, with products like this we can all achieve amazing results, Altenew is such a wonderful company!
Stamping a base layer of colour harmonises the flower and leaf colours. Great idea
Glad you like this idea Christine, maybe next time I will try some ‘off the’ normal colours to blend.
Holy moley, Therese. These are fantastic! You’re awesome, my friend.
You are the sweetest, thank you Marisela!
These cards are stunning, Therese! Your colour choices for the flowers are just gorgeous.
Thanks so very much Karren!
WOW awesome effect of colouring over stamped image. two more fab cards.
Thank you my friend x
