 | | Here is my card for today's sketch challenge as well as Monday's Try a new technique challenge - Negative cuttlebug.
I needed a masculine birthday card and so I chose darker colors for my panels and card. I had this fun cobblestone DP that I thought would look like a road or a wall around my antique truck.
I rubbed creamy caramel on the cuttlebug folder before embossing.
The edges of the car and sentiment are sponged and the car edges are distressed as well.
I just used little pieces for the green around my panel - one on top and one on bottom rather than adding yet another layer to this card!!
Great sketch Roxie!
TFL!

Here are Ann's instructions for the negative cuttlebug:
1. Take your CB folder and open it up so the negative side is facing down on your table. This is the side where the CB logo is.
2. Using whatever color ink, and whatever type of ink, ink up the negative side using either a sponge, brayer or the ink pad itself if you are using spots or the petal chalk inks.
3. Lay your cardstock over your inked side, close the folder and run it through your CB. Make sure to wash your folder ASAP, to avoid any staining from the ink. I have not had a problem with this, as long as I wash it right away!
4. Voila!! Now you have an inked and embossed image to add that extra touch to your card!!
Remember, if you are using chalk or pigment inks, you will want to wait for them to dry before putting your panel on your card. You can also use your heat gun to help them dry, or even emboss them with embossing powder for even greater flair!!! The sky is the limit!!! |
