Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Using a piece of sponge and with an extremely light touch, apply black gesso to the inside (flat side with debossed images). Try to avoid getting too much gesso in the depressions.
-
Step 2
Add a piece of card, right side facing the gesso, and run through your die cutting machine.
-
Step 3
Clean the embossing folder with a wipe and then ensure the embossed card is very dry.
-
Step 4
Apply Opal Polish or another interference medium evenly over the whole surface of the card.
-
Step 5
Buff with a piece of paper towel.
-
Step 6
Use the finished panel on a card or other project. Embellish as desired. The butterfly in the sample is cut with one white layer and one black layer, and the same medium was applied to both before assembling.
-
Step 7
Complete the project.

Oooo...this is pretty!
At first I was thinking about blk CS but then I realized you want the white for the two tones.
She did two things I have not seen before..the scoring on the sides to have the raised frame for the panel and the bit about using the ball end to round the narrow cut edges. Nice finishing touches. Thank you!
