Welcome to a new challenge hosted by Linda!

Challenge runs Oct. 1 - 31.

Thank you!

Welcome to October's Challenge.  This is a Mixed Media challenge.  

Blackout Embossing involves dry embossing, colouring, and swiping (direct to paper inking).  This is an easy combination of techniques which creates beautiful cards that are bold and dramatic.

Below are two videos that each use a different order of combining the above, as well as different colour mediums.  3D embossing folders are recommended to get the best results, but regular embossing folders can be used.

 

We hope you will give one of these a try, or use your own way of creating Blackout Embossing.  Come join us!

August Winners - Stenciling over Patterned Paper

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Stenciling over Patterned Paper challenge.
This was a chance to use up our patterend paper in a different way 
and there were some lovely entries which made choosing a winner very hard!

Winner

August's Stenciling on Patterned Paper Challenge

Darnell  (djkardcreations)

The clever use of turning the wave die into an embossing folder and then 
using the negative space from a  die cut to stencil the happy whale over the patterned paper 
resulted in a delightful card!

Congratulations, Darnell!
