More Blackout Embossing ...

Hi everyone.  I created a CAS card using the challenge from CAS Mix Up.  Blackout embossing is debossing, watercolouring, and the swiping ink pad direct to paper.  Each of the three elements is easy to do, adding them together gives a unique design.

For today I took it one step further and added heat embossing over my final panel.  I used a dabber to add clear distress ink and then sprinkled with antique linen distress ink.  I heat embossed two layers to ensure each area was thoroughly covered.  I love the result of the thick and shiny embossing overtop of my panel.

I added a simple sentiment and popped the panel up on my card base.  I have more pieces from the large panel that I can make into more cards later.
