I've been busy with the whole back to school ritual today. Not to mention waiting for the Comcast guy, who never showed up, because they changed my appointment, and apparently didn't think I needed to know!! So, I had a little spare moment and thought I'd try something I found on You Tube! What would the world be like without You Tube? I know my house would be cleaner that's for sure!
You may have already seen this technique, but it's my first time trying it. I love the look of it and can't wait to use it more.
Start by brayering ink onto the smoother side of the Cuttlebug folder, the side where the design is etched out.
Place your cardstock inside and run it through your Cuttlebug like you normally would to emboss the paper.
The outside of the design will be the color of your ink, while the embossed part will remain the color of your cardstock.
Here's my finished product. This is the first time I tried it so I can see where it needs some tweeking, but I like the way it turned out.
