Easy Elegance with De-bossing

This is one of the Convention 2008 projects I made and had wanted to post immediately, but the connection at the hotel was way too slow.

 Stamp Sets:  Eastern Blooms, Thank You Kindly

Card Stock/Paper:  Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Naturals White, Whisper White

Ink & Color: Chocolate Chip Classic, Tangerine Tango Classic, Apricot Appeal Classic, VersaMark, White Uni-ball Gel Pen

Accessories: Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Pretties Kit, Floral Frenzy Classy Brass Template, Brayer, Sponge or Sponge Dauber, 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch, Light Table & Stylus.

Debossing Technique:

Place Whisper White card stock face up on brass template on top of Light Table, using the light to position the flower spray.  Use larger ball end of stylus and impress the flowers.

Gently brayer Tangerine Tango Classic ink over face of debossed card stock.  Don't go over it too many times or you will get ink on the flower depressions and you won't have any light areas to fill with Apricot Appeal.  I covered my boo-boos with the gel pen.  As you can see, it worked okay.

Sponge Apricot Appeal Classic ink around the edges of the card to give dimension.

Return card stock to template on light table and use white gel pen to create branches from the dots.

I will be holding a class using this technique on December 13, 2008 and again on December 17th.  See my events calendar for more information.
