Hi Crafty Friends! I’m back with another fun cardmaking project. Today, I am sharing this fun gold embossed deer card. This is a great card for new crafters and it uses heat embossing and masking techniques. This is also a one-layer card, perfect for mailing to a friend!

To start off the card, I scored a piece of white cardstock to make an A2 size card. I then positioned a deer stamp and sentiment from Erin Lee Creative’s Dearly Deer stamp set in my Misti tool. I treated my cardstock with a powder tool, then I stamped the imaged in Versamark ink and sprinkled on some gold heat embossing. I then melted the powder until it was smooth and shiny.
Next, I stamped the same deer stamp onto some Gina K masking magic. I then used some scissors to cut out the image. I then took the masking magic and applied the mask to the area around my embossed image.
I used some detailed blender brushes to slowly apply ink onto my embossed image. The inks that I used today are the Altenew mini ink cubes in the colors sand dune, mocha, minty mint and pink diamond. If you are using the same blending brushes for different colors, be sure to clean your brush between changing colors.
When I was happy with the color application, I slowly peeled off the masking magic to reveal my image underneath. At this point all that was left to do is score the card and it was finished!
This card was a relatively easy one to make. The most time consuming part is cutting out the mask. The time spent cutting out the mask is worth it though as you can use the mask multiple times. I used my mask to color 3 cards, and it was still good if I wanted to make some more.
