Oooh, I love a good mystery! By any chance, did you ink up and spritz the inside of your CB embossing folder, then emboss the paper? Wahetevr you did, it is LOVELY!

The colours on this are so lovely Janet! My guess is that you inked the debossed side of the embossing folder with distress ink, ran it through the CB and then spritzed the paper with water and/or perfect pearls to let them bleed a bit.
ReplyDeleteWell I don't have a clue how you did this...but I do know it's fabulous and quite impressive! I'll be checking back to find out the how-to on this one!
ReplyDeleteblessings!
covered paper w/distress ink, embossed paper, drops of distress ink refill, spritz w/water to let bleed?
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Sue Rae's guess on this ~ its super. Do you have a spare Hero Arts 'leaves' for sale?? If so, Please keep for me. Love the cutie bird. Where is that from? Have started tidying up ~ what a mission! Keep smiling....
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Like Nancy, I have no idea how you did it. I will keep posted for the 'how to'.
ReplyDeleteKeep Well. Lysiane
Ok, I think you used a white crayon to rub over the embossed part and then inked with distress inks, spritzed and rubbed off with a paper towel. maybe. :) sooo pretty!
ReplyDeletesalut janet
ReplyDeletetu as le papier dans le cuttlebug.et ensuite tu l as mis a tremper dans un peu d eau melange avec du colorant bleu.
You embossed the background and did some trick with the ink. I can not guess better:)
ReplyDeleteYou emboss white paper first with your cuttlebug; then you put some white embosing ink, then heated it with the gun and then gently put some Tim Holtz distressing ink. whoooo hooooo
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you inked up your embossing folder, it's something I've tried once? But there is something extra. You spritzed the paper with water before or afther running it through your cuttlebug. One thing is certain: IT'S GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you embossed the flowers and then distressed with various inks around and overtop of the flowers. And then rembossed again to give it a more dramatic look. Great card bye the way.
ReplyDeleteI guess you ink the embossing folder inside before embossing. So the "debossed" area will be inked and the embossed area will have no ink.
ReplyDeleteI did it some times in past and always like the results.
Love your card!

Janet, Great job and thanks for the chance,and
ReplyDeleteI will go with the white crayon on elevated embossing, kinds of like a reverse resist, then using distres inks and maybe spritzing. I used that method recently so that is why I will go with that guess.
Have a good day,
Donna
i think you inked your cuttlebug folder? whatever you did, it looks amazing! good on you, i love figuring cool stuff out on my own :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm do we have to guess right to win? I love those stamp sets :> Okay I think you inked up the paper with distress inks ran it through your cuttlebug with a folder and than spritzed a mixture of water and perfect pearls! :>
ReplyDeleteLovely effect, Janet! I am guessing that you
ReplyDeleteinked up your Cuttlebug embossing folder with
Distress Inks.
OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo lovin' your giveaway prize!!! THANKS for a chance to win!
Here's what I think you did...inked up your CuttleBug Embossing Folder, and ran it thru the CuttleBug and you got that awesome effect!
What a great card!!! Did you use bleach on your stamp, by any chance?
ReplyDeleteHaha! I find it mind-boggling, Janet! I'm guessing that you inked up the CB folder and run the paper through? I'm not good at guessing...but I just want to stop by to say hi. You can leave me out for the draw as I want to give others a chance! So sweet of you to do so!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is..since there are 2 papers there.You use tissue paper that spritz with some inks like glimmer mist.then you place the tissue paper on top of the white cardstock then while still wet, you place it on the white cardstock.the embossing folder probably you applied use bleach or crayon on the raise pattern part before and run it through the cuttlebug machine ehich probably create a white design :P.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it involved ink and the CB embossing folder, but other than that, I don't know! :) It sure does look gorgeous though!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these sea colors!! My guess is inking your embossing folder before you ran it through your c'bug. I'd love to know which inks you used.....thanks for the chance to win these great stamps!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that you embossed and then distressed? I'm a "new hat" too :) Your card is so pretty with the blues! Thanks for the opportunity to win these goodies - I love those leaves!
ReplyDeleteI had originally thought you rubbed the embossed paper w/ distress inks. However, the idea of inking the Cuttlebug folder first sounds like that might be what you did. TY for the chance to win. LK :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I think maybe you used some alcohol ink after embossing and stitching your card, rubbing the acess of the raised image. and maybe distressed some too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mystery! I try to guess. After you embossed with Cuttlebug, you used the sponge (or whatever) and inked it with distress ink. Then you used your soaking brush and go over to certain areas you like to darken.. Ow..ow.. LOL, that's my guess.
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely NO idea what you did, being technique challenged myself and not having a CB, which I'm assuming you used here. But the results are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks so much for adding this beauty to the Gratitude Collection!
What a great idea - technique guessing.
ReplyDeletemmmmm my guess is blended distress inks on the embossed cardstock and then spritzing it with water?? Whatever you did, has given your card the most wonderful effect. Beautiful, Janet.
My guess is that you inked the embossing folder first, for the paler colour on the cardstock.. then you ran the cardstock through the folder, and highlighted areas with the ink directly on the some areas. It's a lovely card.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your card is super Gorgeous. But I have no idea what you did, I just know you embossed the cardstock. LOL
ReplyDeleteI really love your card, the colors are so beautiful! But I have no clue how you did it - please do tell!
ReplyDeleteDid you use white ink on the raised parts, and then a wash of Distress inks w water or Twinkling H2Os? I'm looking forward to finding out what you did!
ReplyDeletethis is really gorgeous!!!
