Welcome to the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES BLOG HOP! We are featuring the BLACKOUT EMBOSSING TECHNIQUE today! You’ll find a video tutorial where I share how to make a some fun cards here:
You’ll find this same technique using Stampin’ Blends HERE.
I decided to try this technique with FLUID 100 watercolor paper and a WATER PAINTER to be able to get bright, solid color into the dots on the DOTTED CIRCLES 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER. It worked GREAT! The Fluid 100 paper worked better than Basic White – the colors stayed brighter.
Dimensions:
- Basic White Thick — 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Basic White — 2 7/8″ x 4 1/8″ & scrap
- Fluid 100 — 2 3/4″ x 4″
- Berry Burst — scrap
- Full of Life DSP — 4″ x 5 1/4″ & 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ (inside)
This is the 3D folder I used:
I really like the way this turned out.
I created this BLACKOUT TECHNIQUE layer with the SMALL BLENDING BRUSHES. What a bright fun seaside card for a friend!
This is the bundle with the 3D embossing folder:
I love the colors! I added some Crumb Cake to the Coastal Cabana card base.
Dimensions:
- Coastal Cabana — 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored at 5 1/2″ & 1/2 strip
- Crumb Cake — 4″ x 5 1/4″ & 1/2″ strip
- Basic White — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″, 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside) & scrap
Fun and colorful! Which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below.
