THIS SURE IS A FUN TECHNIQUE

I tried a new technique and had a ton of fun with it!  It’s called “Reverse Blackout” and here is what I created.

Before I got started I found a video from Sandi MacIver that shows how to get it done.  I started with the beautiful Layered Florals 3D embossing folder(162935) on a piece of Basic white cardstock cut to 4″x5-1/4″.

The, using the Small Blending brushes I added colour to the centres and leaves of the flowers.  Here I feel that they could have been a little darker and maybe using a Sponge Dauber would have worked better(that’s on my to-do list).  It is very IMPORTANT to add the colour on the indented side of the embossing so the detail stands out after adding the black ink.

Then you need a well-inked a juicy black ink pad to wipe on the black.  I used the Tuxedo Memento black pad and re-inked it after every swipe.

The possibilities are endless with any 3D embossing folder, so give it a try.  Here’s the link to Sandi’s video.

And, here’s the list of products that I used.
