For today I am playing along with The Paper Players. Their challenge this week seemed a bit ambiguous. It is a challenge that is wide open to almost any possibility. For me, I thought about how I could use heat embossing as a centerpiece of the project. Well, how about alcohol lifting using an embossed image. So here is my card for today, enjoy!

| I just have to say this was SO fun! I seem to be becoming a Jennifer McGuire junkie. So I watched this video which showed this technique. Click here for the episode. I thought this challenge would be the perfect time to try it out. |
 |
| I started with Yupo paper and added alcohol ink to create a base. Dried it and added a TON of antistatic bag to the base. Stamped my image on the base and heat embossed clear. I used old die cutting plates, placed the base on the plates and sprayed 91% alcohol on it. Lastly, I added a piece of 110lb. CS on top and ran it through. The CS soaked up the spray and ink leaving behind the color that is trapped under the embossing. |

| The 'cherish' sentiment was diecut in the same brown as the border. I then added three coats of clear embossing powder to build up the word. |

Love that embossing technique you've used - and really love the addition of the embossing to the die cut sentiment! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Players this week! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool technique and you created a one-of-a-kind background for sure! Lovely! Thanks for playing with our challenge this week at the Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteShawna that background is fabulous - and does demonstrate how heat embossing can be used to amazing effect! It reminds me of rolling seas - that feather could be a surfboard lol! A truly eyecatching card. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
