This time the TRY IT ON TUESDAY challenge theme is 'EMBOSSING - WET OR DRY'.
I love this embossing folder from Altenew and the monochrome look was an accident really.
At first I intended to colour the debossed flowers then do the blackout embossing technique, but I was playing around with the black ink first and just swiped it over the debossed side to see what it looked like!
I was a little unsure at first - I thought maybe it was a bit too much/overpowering so I left it on the desk for a couple of days whilst I worked out if I could do anything with it, like maybe cut it into panels etc.
3 days later and I decided each time I looked at it I liked it a bit more than the previous time!
I think it's the 'drama' of the stark black and white that has appealed to me so it was simply mounted onto black card and a white snippet strip added to the bottom.
I am undecided if I will add a message - I have a simple 'BLOOM' stamp which I may use (white embossing on the black in the top left) or I may simply leave it as it is!
I'd love to know what you think of this card? Like it? Love it? Loathe it?!
Thanks for looking and hope you will join us at TIOT with your embossed make! x
