Midnight magic again

Midnight magic again

The #altenewchallengelive with Jen Rzasa with Altenew stamp co. theme is Midnight Magic.  I am still having fun with this theme: Midnight Magic!  This time I did the technique called Reverse embossing blackout or Blackout embossing.  

Of course, if you know me, I had to do a couple of tags.  I also made a card.  I think this is my last entry for this Midnight magic theme.  I reason I did so many cards, and tags for this theme is because we had three weeks to enter this challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back soon.

Blackout technique

 Blackout technique

This is a technique that blocks out all the white on a card.  Jen Rzasa from Altenew Tuesday #Altenewchallengelive with the theme White Out.  White out theme just means there is NO white anywhere on your card/project, so I did the Blackout technique.

Basically all you do is emboss a white panel with an embossing folder.  On the debossed side sponge on some color in the image.

Next take a black dye ink pad and lightly rub it across the card panel till the background is all black. You can see more of this blackout technique here back in 2024.

Blackout embossing

 Blackout embossing

This is a dramatic card!  Don't remember who started this technique, but if you do please let me know so I can give credit.  To me this is a take on Joseph's coat technique.

supplies used:  Altenew 3D embossing folders Decorative florals, Tulip Bouquet

Instructions:

1.  run 3D embossing folder through Big Kick (machine of choice) to get impression.  For this technique you will be coloring on the debossed side.

2.  On the debossed side add color to the depressed image.  Spot coloring is all you are going to be doing for this technique.  Coloring doesn't have to be perfect.

3.  When done with coloring ... take black ink pad (dye ink preferred) and gently drag it over the card with the spot colored image. Cover the whole card with the black ink.

That's it!  The black ink will cover the background around the image, and just highlight the colored image.
