Something Saturday - Blackout Embossing

 Hi there Creators

Today I'm showing you a technique I learnt just recently - Janine Rawlins had put it up on her FB, and as soon as I saw it I had to go and have a go!  OH MY GOODNESS!! If you haven't come across it before and you have a plentiful supply of embossing folders, I suspect you will be like me too.🤣

So here are the creations I made then I'll give you a brief rundown on how to do it: (I may have got a little carried away......)

First up: Fern 3D embossing folder and one of the embossing folders from Stripes & Splatters 3D embossing folders.

Then the other embossing folder from Stripes & Splatters is the Pretty Peacock one, and the purple one is one of the Basics 3D embossing Folders

Then lastly the 2 embossing folders from Fun Patterns embossing folders (these aren't 3D folders, but they still work 😍)

Don't they look great?

So, here is the way to do it.....  For these ones I started off with a piece of white cardstock, embossed it, then using brushes, brushed random colours (light & bright) all over the DEBOSSED side, lastly swipe over the whole thing with a darker colour, and the debossed bits should remain the light bright colours, with the flat raised sections in the dark colour.

If you missed the video here it is:

I hope this excites you as much as it did me, and you are inspired to create

God Bless,

Class Cards for April

 Hi There Creators

My classes in April are marginally disrupted with Easter, the Maryborough Class has moved forwards to 1st as otherwise we'd be meeting on Easter Saturday, which might not be the best move!

So with that in mind, the first class is Sat 1st at 10.30am in Maryborough, then  Wednesday 5th 10.30am in Laanecoorie, and Thursday 6th 7pm in Laanecoorie  $20 for 4 cards, and here are the cards:

I have finally broken into the Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls - it's one of those embellishments I just can't help but look at and admire how beautiful they are 🤣 you know the sort that you don't want to use, you just want to admire?  Anyway I liked the idea of having a couple spilling out of the bottle with gilded leafing.  I've used the Heron Habitat Bundle for the stamped (and die cut) bits, a bit of the By the Bay Designer Paper, and the Jar Punch to finish it off

Next card uses one of the new "Online Exclusive" products this is Irresistible Blooms Stamp set, teamed up with the Essential Tag Punch and Black & White Gingham Ribbon

This next card also uses new "Online Exclusive" goodies, in the form of 2 embossing folders, it's actually a pack of 3 called Basics Embossing Folders, so potentially it's up to you which ones you choose for your card.

And last but not least, I may have got carried away with the online exclusive goodies!  here we have the beautiful Hello Irresistible Designer paper, so pretty!  plus one of the dies from the Delicate Edges Dies.

Do book your place and join us for the class, look forward to seeing you

I hope these inspire you to create.

God Bless love
