\n<\/a>\"Julie<\/a>I chose a morphed version of embossing resist. Morphed because I also added the twist of bleach. Most of the time I’ll white emboss the image when I’m doing emboss resist, but it just didn’t work very well with this geranium image. So I black embossed it on water color paper. A note about the paper…this isn’t the good stuff…it’s water color paper from the kid’s art supply section.<\/em><\/span> I’ve found when I’m embossing, it does a better job\u00a0than the good stuff. It’s smoother and not as heavy but it still stands up to water very well. After embossing, I used a combination of techniques. I added color all over w\/ a large paint brush, water & some dye\u00a0reinkers. To make it a little more intense, I also\u00a0sponged on some extra colors using two Kaleidacolor ink pads. I also splattered a bit here and there then wet it down a bit to soften the splatter. Now for the twist..I took a tiny acrylic paintbrush dipped in bleach\u00a0and bleached some color back out inside the flowers & leaves. The embossed lines kept the bleach from traveling. If you try this, you must use an acrylic paintbrush…the bleach will totally eat up the natural hair bristles<\/em>.<\/span> To further define the image, I added a hint of shadow using a red Copic & a green Copic below the flowers & leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n

After die cutting the panel, I added a slightly larger, fussy cut black layer. Black die cut elements were added to the corners on the white layer. After matting\u00a0this on black, I attached it back on top of the original water color bg the image was cut from. The die cut Hello was also shadowed in black.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
