Today I am sharing a technique I demonstrated at my Customer Thank You Party. It is something that works really will with the glossy cardstock although the sample below was made with Whisper White card.
I started by stamping images from Artistic Etchings onto the white card. Next I inked up the Medallion background stamp with Versamark ink and stamped over the top of the coloured imanges.
I covered the card in Clear Embossing Powder and heat set the Medallion image.
Next I applied Chocolate Chip ink with a brayer over the whole white card, wiping the excess off the embossed area with a tissue - and hey presto! - the Artistic Etchings images show through where the clear Medallion.
I enjoyed showing this technique - is it something you have tried?
Oh my - I love this. What a fabulous way to emboss...... Where's my heat gun and brayer :o)

ReplyDeletethis is such a cool effect - I've been looking at the medallion stamp for ages, and wondering if I'd use it enough - but this has given me lots of ideas. I so need this stamp! thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, this one almost knocked me out of my seat! Oh my goodness! I just love how you created the background with the Artistic Etchings images. The colors you used are so rich, too. Absolutely gorgeous, in every way! Wow!
