This is the last stop on
the Counterfeit Kit Blog Hop! Thanks for joining us. This month's blog hop challenge was to showcase a stamping technique. My technique is an older technique, I wanted to share it because I had forgotten all about it, but I like the look. I'm hoping some of you like it too! It can be recreated with any color embossing powders and paper, I used black and white in my example.
I, once again, used Unity stamps for this technique.

I gathered my supplies, which include, 2 different colors of cardstock and matching embossing powder, embossing ink, stamps, and a heat gun. |
|
First, I stamped and heat embossed the same images on BOTH sheets of paper. I did white embossing on the black paper, and black embossing on the white paper. |
|
Next I choose just one color of each image and cut out it out. For my example I cut the white paper with the black embossed heart image and the black paper with the with embossed stamped text. |
|
Then I cut the identical image (in the opposite color) exactly in half and adhered that half to the top of my first image (making sure the images line up create a whole image.) Next I flipped the embellishment over and trimmed off the excess paper. |
|
I matted the completed "split" stamped image onto a piece of patterned paper...and there you have it! An interesting technique to spice up a stamped image on a layout or a card. |
