Blackout Embossed Daisy

Welcome

This week, I'm hosting the TLC Challenge (Technique Lovers) over at Splitcoast Stampers.

The technique we will be playing with today is called:

Blackout Embossing

It will give you stunning results as you will see.  The trick it to use the Debossed side of the cardstock.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I took a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using the Spoon Daisy Embossing Folder from Altenew.
• I turned my cardstock to the DEBOSSED side and using my blending brushes, I added colour to the flower by randomly rubbing the ink over the embossing.  At this point, you don't have to be precise with your inking because it will be getting covered up with the black ink.  The Distress Oxide colours I used were:  Fossilized Amber, Picked Raspberry and some Peacock Feathers.
• After I was happy with the inking, I took my Versafine Clair Noir black ink pad, held it flat onto the panel and rubbed until the black ink covered all the card panel.
• I splattered with my white Posca pen and then set aside to dry.
• While that dried, I stamped the sentiment with some Versamark ink and then white heat embossed it on the black cardstock.
• I glued the dried panel onto a piece of yellow cardstock, then a piece of blue and then finally onto an A2 sized card base.  
• Finally, I added the sentiment across the bottom using some foam tape.

I hope you give it a try.  

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
