|||
| Instructions: This technique is just an extension of dry embossing. | ||||
|
|
Start with a basic dry embossed image. You want to use simple shapes for this technique. | |||
 |
Using a Sponge Dauber add Classic Ink to only the raised surface. Use small strokes and work from the center outward. | |||
 |
You can add another dimension by stamping an image over the colored section. | |||
 |
Punch or cut out your dry embossed section. You have created a beautiful decorative element and have further highlighted the embossed section. | |||
 |
For another variation of the same technique, start with colored cardstock. This is Soft Sky. The dry embossing and punching are the same as the previous sample. | |||
 |
Use an applicator and Stampin' Pastels to shadow only the edge of the dry embossed section. I chose Tempting Turquoise as a complementary shade. | |||
 |
Add stamping with Classic or Craft ink or in my example I used a Rub-on. If you are choosing a Rub-on, make sure to leave an unchalked area, so that you will not have a problem with the Rub-on adhering incompletely to the cardstock. | |||
 |
You can also use a large background stamp to decorate the dry embossed area. Place the cardstock directly onto the rubber surface and then only rub on the back of the dry embossed, recessed section. | |||
 |
When you flip the piece over, The image will only be present on the dry embossed section. | |||
 |
The crop-a-dile can be used for dry embossing small circles into a larger shape. I mention that technique here, because that is what I did to all the flowers on the sample. | |||
 |
You can see that the cardstock on the left that was dry embossed using the Crop-a-dile has a much deeper impression than standard dry embossing. | |||
| Here is the finished sample incorporating a few of these techniques. | ||||
