The 3D EF was bought from Poppy Stamps, but was originally Sizzix 3D EF, both called "Shells". Male cards for 2024 but are different techniques so far! From this technique I learnt how to lightly brayer a <u><i><span style="color: red;">fine</span></i></u> layer of gold acrylic paint, so used it on a number of various techniques as the gold highlights it beautifully. NOTE: first time I did it made gold layer too thick. It's not shown in video technique, but prayer with trial and error won out. Don't give up too soon on a technique - I've learnt the hard way. </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5V_IWpRGv_15XZvZnMGFSj3nsu9IHSG4SzPll_klq0q7LDc84jJOUWeVg3MElu36IyNpk8hCScXF2G6ZjjGqVZ3mb5rB0ciBa-P7GROJAjCtEbxebwJ6XvknrZ2F53RNLsbcDR0rB_nXLDM6uE0IF-kJSeT5DW35h6UfMF18FId49kLb0bI1JckQDGHQ/s2880/20240207_125825.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2880" data-original-width="2880" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5V_IWpRGv_15XZvZnMGFSj3nsu9IHSG4SzPll_klq0q7LDc84jJOUWeVg3MElu36IyNpk8hCScXF2G6ZjjGqVZ3mb5rB0ciBa-P7GROJAjCtEbxebwJ6XvknrZ2F53RNLsbcDR0rB_nXLDM6uE0IF-kJSeT5DW35h6UfMF18FId49kLb0bI1JckQDGHQ/w400-h400/20240207_125825.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Desk 2 shows the embossed watercolour with DI then brayered gold highlights on top.</span></b></div><p></p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">First card was this new technique (Splitcoast Stampers <a href="https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/drunken_embossed_foil/?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ExactTarget&utm_campaign=" target="_blank">link here)</a>, it looks better in some lights/ angles than others. </span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDjWvj83JkBbWYJKsYKXLrDaBLB-H8ecTLS18XVhyK_GSdO-MQaF7t9VWUTqxHD4vc1MYHBCnhdqXbiWon23b9FD9CBnzUEqgmmLhaXG2VXySTJZ0kpGqMAcaOdw5cQ5Gjse1IS__5CmcGbsXdbFZ1HhEOdlW57n2gh5_BeDozTO3webA8J2FEEeJr_8I/s768/20240129_154817_copy_600x768.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDjWvj83JkBbWYJKsYKXLrDaBLB-H8ecTLS18XVhyK_GSdO-MQaF7t9VWUTqxHD4vc1MYHBCnhdqXbiWon23b9FD9CBnzUEqgmmLhaXG2VXySTJZ0kpGqMAcaOdw5cQ5Gjse1IS__5CmcGbsXdbFZ1HhEOdlW57n2gh5_BeDozTO3webA8J2FEEeJr_8I/s320/20240129_154817_copy_600x768.jpg" width="250" /></a></span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: verdana;">Alcohol ink on Alfoil (kitchen aluminium foil variety) backed on heavy cereal box card (NOTE: attach foil with tape, so doesn't move about).

Di appears in this card - as this the die she sent me one Christmas as I fell in love with it, so thanks so much Di, it is up there as my very favourite Christmas die. How many did I do before I cracked the design? See to the left of pile - were actually six of 16 😂😂😂 Below - third desk shows how many die sets I went through to find the design.. and last image shows two dies I actually used, the spellbinders circle with a CCD scallop circle die to make the frame!</span></b></div><b><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLI3NId2N1iiIxOOJ3CZHiZJCMEcxtaB0hH303STvL7aL6ybeT2ft99jd0zvP6TD4siS-RIbgiMg3_hFHCYvWC0qFKJT9ZHU0sds10cP9htQnC6XxeWpVXzoGK46O9j8WDkeoepIvF4aaR9MyBhAamuuZ2dQafXiNdJSA5gOs-AIUvPKpcOquco492/s800/20221016_171557_copy_800x477.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="477" data-original-width="800" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLI3NId2N1iiIxOOJ3CZHiZJCMEcxtaB0hH303STvL7aL6ybeT2ft99jd0zvP6TD4siS-RIbgiMg3_hFHCYvWC0qFKJT9ZHU0sds10cP9htQnC6XxeWpVXzoGK46O9j8WDkeoepIvF4aaR9MyBhAamuuZ2dQafXiNdJSA5gOs-AIUvPKpcOquco492/s320/20221016_171557_copy_800x477.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span></b></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;">The brayered background (Kaleidocolor) on gloss cardstock is the quickest, easiest + most effective backdrop whether used with stamps or dies.
