Faded Embossing Technique with Pascale B.

Faded embossing technique with Pascale B.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Lindy’s Gang blog to show you a simple technique to finish your project.

Most of the time when you make a tag or a card, to finish your project, you inked the edges of your background with Distress ink. If you want to have a more beautiful finish, you can sprinkle the Distress ink with an embossing powder, that you will heat emboss. You will obtain a nice faded embossed border. The result is very beautiful.

Let me show you how to do this.

I make a set of two cards: one portrait, the other landscape. First, I colored two pieces of watercolor paper with Green With Envy Green and Golden Doubloons inks. After drying them, I inked the edges with brown Distress ink.

While the ink was still wet, I sprinkled the edges with Gimme Five Gold Detail EP. Before heating the embossing the powder, I tapped the paper to remove the excess powder. The result is a faded embossing edge.

I’ve done the same with the faceted heart. I inked the edges of the hearts with black Distress ink which I covered with Gimme Five Gold EP too.

I inked a few leaves with Green With Envy Green and Rusty Lantern Lime inks to add around the heart with a few flowers. To finish the cards, I added some glitters.
