More Color Mondays are here once more – this time it’s Flirty Flamingo, Mambo Melon, and Granny Apple Green and a great new technique the Blackout Technique.
Measurements:
BASE: Melon Mambo CS 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for sentiment
Run the Basic White layer through the Layered Florals embossing folder.
Turn to the debossed side and using a blending brush color the larger flowers in Mambo Melon ink.
Color the smaller flowers with a smaller blending brush in Flirty Flamingo ink.
Color the leaves in Granny Apple Green ink – do not worry about coloring outside the lines.
Pull a Memento Black ink pad over the top of the debossed images do not push down but drag across the paper.
Cut the layer down to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and wrap black and white gingham ribbon around the basic white layer. Adhere the layer to the base.
Die cut the scrap of Basic White with the second smallest rectangle from the Detailed Essentials die set. Stamp the “Thank you so much” sentiment in Mambo Melon ink. Brush Mambo Melon ink with a blending brush around the die edges. Pop the sentiment up on Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon.
I adhered the inside layer with a cut piece of the blackout technique.
The black ink covers the flat surfaces and allows the debossed coloring to pop!
Try this new technique to increase your 3D embossing folder usefulness – the Blackout technique is pretty awesome and I cannot wait to see what you make. Go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
