What a fun technique for today's Technique Lovers challenge! Carved Wood Background - using a stencil to emboss the card panel, scoring lines across the panel and dragging an ink pad down the panel to color it - adding some more color with blender brushes.
Lyn links to a video by Gina K showing just how it's done - and she's right - it is ADDICTING!
I used this sandwich with my Sizzix Multi Purpose Platform:
Base Plate 1
Cutting Plate
Stencil
Paper
Silicone Rubber Mat
Impressions Pad
I made two panels and sponged one on the positive side (raised embossing) shown on the left here so the image gets the dark rubbed on ink.
The one on the right is the panel turned over with the embossed image depressed so the embossed image stays white and the dark color surrounds it.
With both cards I first rubbed Frayed Burlap across the panels. Then I used a blender brush to add some Fossilized Amber and some Dried Marigold - mostly around the sunflower itself.
I had to cut down the one on the right as it embossed a little off center so I added a framing panel of Summer Sunrise to that one.
I've already embossed a few more stencils on panels up in my craft room. I can't wait to see how they come out using this 'carved wood' technique!
