The Blackout Technique You’ve Been Seeing Everywhere! Deboss an Embossing Folder: Crafty with Caly

Hi friends! Happy Sunday! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Caly Person sharing a fun and HOT technique! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!

I’m so excited to share today’s technique with you!  I came across a reel sharing this technique with embossing folders a few weeks ago and was intrigued to try it!  I played with this technique for two cards when creating with the Celebrate release and want to share a full video of the process today.

This technique uses the debossed side of an embossed panel.  This allows you to add color quickly by ink-blending (or not so quickly for me, because I’m a slow ink-blender).  You can also paint/watercolor or color with any other mediums you’d like!  The way I share it today is the quickest, in my opinion.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

After embossing a white panel with the Hibiscus Cluster embossing folder, I ink-blended the debossed side of the panel. I started with flowers and ink-blended each flower in different color variations.  Then to mask off the flowers so I could ink-blend the leaves without color-bleeding, I embossed a second panel and fussy-cut the flowers and in-laid them into the panel.

After I finished ink-blending the leaves, I used a Sakura Gelly Roll pen  in yellow from the Stardust Galaxy set (you can also use a gold metallic gel pen or marker) to color in the hibiscus centers.  Once this detail is completed, the magic begins!

To flood all the negative areas with a solid color, I used a black felt ink pad to swipe across the panel. My second card shows that you can also do this complete this technique with a foam ink-pad, you just have to be more careful when applying the ink.  I finished my cards with sentiments using the Happy die and sub-sentiments from the Happy Combos set.

I hope you’ll give this technique a try! Thanks so much for visiting today! ~Caly
