Hi everyone. Today's card is for the IDEAS Challenge with Darnell. This week is "A - Anything Goes".
For my Anything Goes, I've tried a new-to-me technique. Thanks to Tiffany Solorio for this great video. I used a panel of alcohol inked yupo from my stash, ran it through my Gemini with the Vine Canopy embossing folder (Simon Says Stamp). I then used a sanding block to sand off the top of the raised design, which turns white. I love the effect and will try this with more of my AI panels that have been collecting dust. :)
I popped it up on my card front which has been stamped with a sentiment from Happy Snippets (Penny Black).
I die-cut the Ascending die (Penny Black) from black card stock and adhered it on top.
Easy peasy card using a panel from my stash. :)

ReplyDeleteLoll, I gave up on alcohol inks, but I LOve seeing your gorgeous panels - extra special using this fun sanding technique... and I'll never tire of those wonderful Ascending ferns!

Wow what a super effect! Love this and all that wonderful texture and color in the background, so perfect for a silhouette die cut. Now I need to make some alcohol ink backgrounds!z
ReplyDeleteLove that technique for embossing and sanding an AI panel - I must try it. You used beautiful colours - especially that rich purple next to the turquoise. Thanks for linking to the video.
ReplyDeleteI love how the sanding highlights the embossed design, Lolly! That's a pretty piece of alcohol ink too! Love the colors and that die cut!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to sand back this pretty AI piece Loll, and love the contrast of the added black die cut leaves and sentiment. A bright and beautiful card. x
