Hello everyone...it's my turn to host Splitcoast's Technique Lover's Challenge this week and my challenge comes to us thanks to Trish (TrishG). She made this gorgeous card with her technique called Colored Embossing!! It's pretty simple...all you have to do is use markers to color the inside of an embossing folder (the indented part)...when you run it through a Cuttlebug or other embossing machine the raised part is colored....how cool is that!!!
I used a small 2x2 folder and used Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive markers to color the indented part of the folder. Trish spritzed her's with water but I wanted to see what it looked like without the water. I did find that you will need to use a Q Tip or sponge to wipe off the ink that gets outside of the sunken part on the folder or it will ruin the design. I found that out after ruining a few practice rounds!!
The rosette was made from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush dp and the Tim Holtz rosette die. The flower and leaves were stamped on the same paper with Waltzingmouse's Sewing Box - Hugs set and layered with foam dots. Baker's twine and Candy Dots finish it off.
Thanks for visiting ...now, gather up those embossing folders and come join us in this weeks TLC challenge!!!!
