This card was done using the "Embossing Scraps" technique from Bernie Berlin's book. You let the glue ooze out from behind the images, put embossing powder on the glue, and then heat. It bubbles and looks really cool. My plan was that this would be a background for something, but I thought it looked just right on its own.

The embosser, from CustomEmbossers.com, has removeable plates. Since our plates are best for very thick materials, we plan on ordering another set for paper stock.

The Hero Arts contest this month is to "Try Something New" so I doubled embossed on this one card. Wood grain dry embossed and the doily is heat embossed.

I'm sure there are technicalities to whether the term "embossing" is really appropriate here, but in any case, this is a technique known in Japanese as karazuri. It's a particularly fine usage of the technique here, and I'm glad it came out.

Karazuri (空刷り) literally means "empty imprinting". A woodblock is carved with a pattern (in this case waves), and then, without inking it at all, the block is imprinted into the paper, leaving an inkless white-on-white embossed pattern.

This is most commonly seen in small areas, such as a section of white kimono sticking out from beneath other layers. But here it's seen across a large section of the composition.

Close up of seahorses card. I heat embossed the stamped image in silver on navy card. Then I stamped the image again in black on silvery grey organza. By placing the black seahorses on the organza (slighty to the right) over the silver embossed seahorses it gave this shadowy effect.

The wood block printed with no ink, but lots of pressure. I did a couple of these before I started covering the thing with ink again. Fabriano paper, 9" x 7".

i´m having some free days to try out my new big shot machine..it is exiting..

is it normal that the plates get a bit the silhouettes of the forms you cut out?

i´m struggling a bit with these different sandwiches...

what should i buy from the nestabilities..which number(s) do you use the most?

thanks for your advise...

hugs,

Used HA snowman stamp and Creative Trees stamps. Used Cuttlebug to emboss background. Hard to tell from this pic, but the snowman is adhered with popdots so he is lifted off the card a bit.

It's that trick you have to play when looking at lunar craters, switch your perspective until the bulges become imprints

Or debossing? I always get confused. My camera still hates the fluorescent red filament.

I love the look of dry embossing but photos don't usually do this technique justice!

I made this card using Lucy Abrams sketch #5. The embossed image is a bit difficult to see but it is a bunch of strawberries and looks fantastic in real life. I did add some blue ink sponged around the edge of the circle when the die was still on the cardstock and then I hit the berries with a bit of red ink.

There is a close up of the dry embossing on another upload so you can see it better.

I did this for the emboss resist challenge at {capture the moment}. Used some Hero Arts stamps (Flourish Background and Friend Definition) along with my PTI-On My Couch set. Sorry for the funky photo, this had to be posted tonight and the conditions are not conducive to great photography.
