Terri's Technique Tuesday

I found this card in one of my current catalog's and
 I fell in love with the colors and embossing. 
For my technique I decided to  try a new spin on the embossing part. 
I am going to call it "Raised Embossing". 
I thought that explained what it was and the name is easy to remember...


Here is the card I cased (Copy And Share Everything) 
and mine, of course mine is all Stampin' Up!
The background on the catalog card is embossed as well. Just not Raised.

First I Embossed my Whisper White Card Stock,
using an embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
 (Yes, my Brayer is stained, let's just say it's well loved! :))

Next using my stained, but very clean brayer, 
I carefully applied Versamark Ink on the raised area.

Next I dipped the inked piece into my Gold Detail Embossing Powder.  
and tapped off any excess powder.

I used a soft paint brush to remove any "stray" Embossing Powder
 that may have become just a little to attached to my card. 

Then the magic,Using my Heat Tool I set the Embossing powder.
 I love watching the powder turn from dull to a bright shine.

I add my layers and embellishments. Mine are stamped, fussy cut and layered. 
Hope this inspires you to try this technique and have fun trying new things. 
My Card Club is making this card Thursday Night.
