Hey there! I'm so glad you dropped by.
I've had this card sitting on my desk for quite a while and it must have been waiting for the Can You Handle the Pressure? challenge option of flowers.
It's made using the blackout technique. The panel was embossed with Altenew's Pressed Flowers and then inked on the debossed side. No need to be really careful with where the colors go. After you have colored your card, you run a pad of black ink across it to cover the top layer. It will take a few passes. Just keep swiping until you're satisfied with the coverage. That's it! Much easier than it looks and the results are fantastic.
Will you give this technique a try? There are a number of videos if you need more information.

Wow, Bobby, this is the best choice of e/f for the blackout technique! Those flowers looked just like you picked them, dried them, and pasted them onto a black card! Amazing result! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Bobby! Your flowers are beautiful and I love how they pop with the black around them! I've been trying to work up the courage to try this technique. I'm sure I'll like it better than putting the black ink on the embossing folder!
ReplyDeleteYour pretty flowers look like they're painted on slate! Terrific card, Bobby!
ReplyDeleteReally love the bold look of soft pretty flowers on your bold background -- awesome technique, Bobby!
ReplyDeleteYours turned out beautiful Bobby! I didn't like where some of the black went on mine, but maybe I was too heavy handed. Will definitely be trying again! Yours is definitely a keeper though!! Hugs. :0)
