My Creative Time Show Me Your Technique Tuesday!


Welcome to another MCT Show Me Your Technique mini blog hop!!
If you arrived here from Shar's blog then you are right where you should be! :)

Tracy <----Me! 

I made this rocker girl card using the Rock Princess cartridge.  The girl is cut out at 5 "
The sentiment is from My Creative Time's Small Talk set, I stamped it onto a tag I made from one of the dies from MCT's Build A Banner set.


For my technique I wanted to show you how I made this brick background for my card!

Here are the supplies I used:


Tim Hotlz Brick Wall embossing folder
Versa Mark ink
Clear embossing powder
Tim Holtz distress ink 
and Ranger blending tool

So for the first step, ink up your embossing folder with Versa Mark ink.  Then emboss a thick piece of white cardstock with it by running it through your cuttlebug.


Next pour clear embossing powder over the ink.


Heat it up to melt the powder.


Next, using your blending tool and ink color of your choice, ink over the embossed side


The ink will resist the embossed areas.
Wipe off excess ink with a paper towel or baby wipe
and that's it!! 


I made one with TH black ink and one using TH Fired Brick ink!
Thanks so much for hopping along with us! 

Tracy

    WAY COOL. I've never tried double embossing (dry and wet) on the same thing. This looks FABULOUS. I definitely need to give it a try and your step by step picture tutorial was perfect. Hugs- Glora
