Reverse Emboss Technique With Happy Hibiscus

Aloha Stampers!

Today, I’m excited to share a fun technique with you! The Reverse Emboss Blackout Technique is a striking paper crafting technique that combines embossing using a 3D Embossing Folder with ink blending, and then dragging a dark ink pad over the top to create a dramatic, high-contrast look.

 

To do this technique, you need to start with a 3D Embossing Folder.  I’m using the Happy Hibiscus 3D Hybrid Embossing Folder.  Just emboss your Basic White cardstock and turn it over to add color to the debossed side.  Sponge Daubers work best for this.

Now for the fun part!  Gently slide a dark ink pad over the colored images.  This will create a dramatic scene that really pops!
