This is for the Clean and Simple challenge this week...faux letterpress! This is a fun and easy technique...basically you ink the de-bossed part of your embossing folder or plate (the part if the image that sticks up) and emboss! This ink falls into the crevices and looks like letterpress!
I tried almost all my embossing plates and folders...the ones that worked best had more negative space, rather than the more solid ones (like houndstooth) and word.numeral ones don't work at all...they come out backwards! Hope this helps you choose!
This was a cuttlebug embossing folder...this worked great!
This card is also for the Free 4 All challenge this week...a hole in one! I used the negative of the die cut CS and popped it up to make my "hole"...TFL!
