How fun it can be to learn a new technique! Beth challenged us to make a card using a "diffuser" to selectively emboss our card fronts then stamping any image in the portion that was not texturized by the embossing folder. It was much easier than I thought and I really appreciated the link that Beth provided to a video that explained how to make the diffuser on our own using cardstock.
Anyone who is familar with my stamping style knows that I dry emboss on many of my cards with large areas of plain card stock so this technique is one that I am sure I will be using again in the future.
I may not have chosen the best stamp to highlight the "non-embossed" area for this challenge but it is still pretty. Anyone out there surprised to see that I actually colored this image? Ha! I am! The stamp is from SU! called Garden Collage from 2005. I used a blender pen and SU! markers to lightly color it.
On to Challenge #4!
