Oh my word! The first swipe with black made me gasp. This is a way cool technique. Reminds me of velvet paintings, but in a good way. Love the 🍄 🍄 +

[@UnderstandBlue]

YES oh my gosh flashback!

[@kiasartbits]

All of these are real WOW cards Lydia - stunning!

[@UnderstandBlue]

Thank you so much!!

[@scrappinkar1]

I can’t wait to try this! I have a gorgeous Altnew folder that would be PERFECT for this technique! Thank you for sharing this!

[@UnderstandBlue]

You are so welcome! They have such beautiful folders!

[@cottage5038]

Love this technique and the embossing folders you used. I have a good number of Altenew 3D folders to try this on. Thanks for sharing.

[@UnderstandBlue]

Thank you! Altenew has some lovely ones.

[@insanity6829]

This technique seems to be coming back again . Very pretty!

[@UnderstandBlue]

I hope so!

[@barbhampton54]

The first few times I watched this, I convinced myself I probably couldn't do it, but I was going to try. I'm stunned at how easy this is and how incredible it works.

[@UnderstandBlue]

It's so easy!!!

[@flowerlila21248]

This technique creates super-effective cards, and yours are exactly that. I also saw other crafters use the brayer to apply black ink, perhaps it's easier than trying to be careful with the ink pad. You did a great job; those cards will bring joy to their recipients.

[@UnderstandBlue]

Brayer is a great idea! You'd just want to have a light touch and work on something squishy like a MISTI mat

[@rinafroneman7787]

Absolutely beautiful I was speechless when you stated with the black 😊❤

[@UnderstandBlue]

Thank you!!

[@happystamper62]

This is a FABulous technique!! And I ran right into my stamp room to play! SO FUN!! Thanks for sharing it! :)

[@UnderstandBlue]

Thank you!!

[@teresamcclennen6860]

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely STUNNING! I would have been scared to try that thinking it would have ruined the already beautiful ink blending but it took it from pretty to WOW! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@UnderstandBlue]

Thank you so much!

[@pamelasertich9850]

I love this technique. Reminds me of the technique where you color the paper first and then coat the embossing folder with black pigment ink. I like this one better because you can put the color down and know where it’s going. Gorgeous cards!

[@UnderstandBlue]

Thank you! Yes the other one doesn't give as good coverage and is messy!

[@mpbailey18]

Actually, I didn't find it messy and got great results. Look forward to trying your variation though!@@UnderstandBlue

[@gingerpayne7310]

Stunning cards- I just learned a new technique tonight and can’t wait to try it.

[@UnderstandBlue]

Have fun!

[@marilync9271]

This was such a cool technique. I gave it a try. I only had a 3D folder with leaves and loved how the black and green turned out.

[@UnderstandBlue]

Oh I bet leaves are gorgeous! Dark forest feel!

[@kykategray]

Oh wow! If it wasn’t after midnight, I would run down to my craft room now to try this out. I love 3d embossing folders, and can’t wait to try out this (new to me) technique. The results are stunning. Thank you

[@UnderstandBlue]

Go for it!

[@kykategray]

@@UnderstandBlue I have now completed several of these striking backgrounds, and I absolutely love them. This technique will definitely go into my regular rotation, especially when my mojo is running low. Thanks again!

#Replay what is the name of the 3-D embossing folder that you’re using?

[@UnderstandBlue]

I don't know the names as they are a little older but I provided a link.

[@mpbailey18]

FYI, the link just goes to Spellbinders ...not the specific folders you used@@UnderstandBlue

[@jquandt8888]

Spring Burst is one of the names (Spellbinders)

[@CraftRoulette]

Jeepers creepers, shrooma-keepers

[@UnderstandBlue]

haha hi Mary!!!

[@mpbailey18]

How interesting! I did this technique several months ago following David Roodenburg's video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpyvgpt6iMd5fdU . He just painted the cardstock first & THEN inked the embossing folder with black. Inserted cardstock into folder and ran through die cut machine! Stunning results. Look forward to trying this version...either way, it's quite an impressive technique!

[@UnderstandBlue]

Yes - I've done that as well. You don't always get full coverage and it can be a bit messy so this is a fun alternative! Thanks for the video - I'll watch it!
