Ink Lift with Embossing

Hello All,

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.
 Challenges Entered:

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. I hope you all have a fantastic day and lots of good crafting vibes headed your way.

All the best,

Shawna 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!
