Debossed Inky Resist

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Today our Group of Seven Cardmakers is sharing a fun technique

that involved double embossing.

First we added VersaMark ink to the "high" side of an embossing folder before

dry embossing.   I used 3D embossing folders but some in the group discovered that

regular embossing folders worked just as well.

Once the piece of mixed media paper was dry embossed, we sprinkled white embossing

powder over top and heat embossed the debossed side to make a resist.

(I think this would show better if the debossed parts weren't so small.)

Then we smooshed Distress inks on a craft sheet, spritzed with water and smooshed the

embossed piece into the ink.  When we were happy with the colors, we dried

the piece and smooshed again with the same colors of Oxide ink.

I made the mistake of die cutting my piece with a stitched rectangle die and

it kind of flattened the piece.  So I carefully placed it back in the embossing folder

and embossed/debossed again.  Fortunately it worked to give a deep embossing and 

made the debossing stand out more.

I used a NBUS fern die cut from Neenah Solar White and inked with Distress ink and

added a sentiment cut from gold foil.

It's hard to stop at one....

This time I used a NBUS embossing folder and followed the same procedure.

I paired it with a die by Penny Black.  It was cut from watercolor paper and 

watercolored with Distress Markers and a waterbrush.  I've stacked it 3 times for depth.

You can find a link to a video on this technique at the

Group of Seven Cardmakers .

The rest of the GO7 gals have some fabulous samples of this technique

at the site too! Do go visit all of them and see what worked for each and what didn't.

Thanks to Julia for leading the fun technique this month.

By the way, we've added a linky at the website so you can add any projects you do

using this technique. What a great resource for techniques!
