TLC1001 Back to practice

Photo Details

Poster: ZPAW Now

Today we learned about the technique of blackout embossing. It's simple yet it creates a stunning effect. I was satisfied with my background until I saw all the photos in today's challenge gallery. Everyone's work was so impressive that it made me realize my card needs more practice.
After creating my background, I went through my collection of dies and found that the billiards theme matched the ball shapes in my design. I came up with a fitting sentiment, printed it out, and cut it with the scan n cut machine.
I am really excited about practicing more with this technique because the results are just so cool!

Thanks for looking.

I totally agree about the practice. But this background is looking very good, and the idea of adding a billiard theme was inspirational.

That looks really cool--I like how you made it about shooting pool.
