It's our fifth challenge over at Technique Twist! Today our challenge is Emerging Color. Think about it as embossing in layers! Very fun! I have two samples for you today.
My first sample was a lot of fun to make!
- Keep in mind you are working in layers. Whatever you stamp first will show through the clear embossing of whatever you stamp/emboss over it
- First, I stamped a piece of Whisper White with the script image from Bordering Basics. I used Calypso Coral ink.
- Second, I stamped Positively Chevron in versamark and clear embossed.
- Then, using sponges, I rubbed colors all over the the clear embossed image. Where-ever the clear embossing is, the stamped image from Background Builders shows through. Other, non-embossed parts of the image covered the print.
- I used a few different colors for the sponges: Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Pacific Point. Where the colors overlap I got some cool colors!
- Using a paper towel just rub over the image to remove any ink from the clear embossed layer.
- I used Calypso Coral for the first stamped layer knowing that the colors I used for sponging would be darker...and would easily cover the first stamped layer.
stamps: Positively Chevron,Background Builders Banner Greetings
cardstock: Whisper White, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango
inks: Versamark, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral
other: Clear Embossing Powder, Brights Dots, sponges
My second sample is very similar to the first, just a different combination of stamps and colors and you can still see the bottom layer through the sponged ink.
- The first stamped layer is the dictional stamp in Pacific Point on Whisper White.
- The flower is from Betsy's Blossoms. I clear embossing the flower on top of the dictionary image.
- Using sponges, I rubbed all over the flower image. I started with Daffodil Delight in the center of the flower, then a little Pear Pizazz and finally Pacific Point. Blending the colors together gives it a gradual yellow to green to blue look.
- Use paper towel to remove any ink from the clear embossed layer.
