OCC - Days 5 & 6 - Iron Off Embossing




http://www.onlinecardclasses.com/CS3/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/CS3_paticipant.png Hello Friends,


More of my cards for Clean and Simple 3 classes.  Days 5 & 6 is all about bringing the backgrounds into the foreground.








IRON OFF EMBOSSING

First up is the iron off embossing technique.


First, the space where I wanted to add colour was masked off.  Then, I inked the rest of the area with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.  I then stamped the moose/deer and star also with versamark and embossed as well.  When I have all my embossing in place I painted all the unembossed areas with watercolour.  After the watercolour have dried I removed the embossing with an iron.

It took a few tries before I got my desired card.  A very labour intensive technique but the results are stunning when you get it right.  I haven't got it completely right yet but a beautiful result for a beginner with iron off embossing and watercolour.

Hope you like my card.
I will be sharing more of my OCC cards shortly.
Thanks for stopping by.
Phi
