Hello crafty friends,
If you were to ask me what my favorite card-making technique is, I would definitely say the blackout technique. This technique takes embossing to a whole new level by utilizing the debossed side of an embossed panel. It’s a fantastic way to add color quickly, whether you’re ink-blending, watercoloring, or, as I often do, using alcohol markers to create bold, eye-catching focal points. In today’s post, I’m excited to show you how this technique works and why it’s become a staple in my card-making projects!
Today, I’ve created two cards. The first features a recreation of a previous project using the Brilliant Budding Floral Embossing Folder, while the second showcases some fun rainbow-colored butterflies. For both cards, I colored the debossed side of the embossed panels with my Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. Then, using a darker shade, I swiped the ink pad across the colored panel to achieve the blackout effect.
