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!

Thank you!

There are different ways to do the Eclipse technique (also called Hidden Word, Camouflauge, etc.).  Basically you need to create a one layer card front with a design.  Then use a die (shape, word, frame) to cut into the card front.  More layers of the same die are cut (either a few layers of cardstock ... or one layer of foam), and adhered together.  Then adhere the original die-cut from your card front on top.  Add your card front to your card base and adhere the thick die-cut (shape, word, or frame), back in place lining up the design.  

You can use either of the options below, or feel free to use your own version of the Eclipse Technique.  We hope you'll play along.  Please use the linky provided at the bottom of the post to enter your card(s).
