Dry Embossing with Stencils

Hello My Dear Crafty and Stamper Friends:
I am bringing to you today this fun technique, using again stencils...
and it is  

Dry embossing with your stencils...

like it? pin it:

for the cuttlebug use the following sandwich:
A plate+metal adapter sheet+B plate + plastic stencil of your choice + cardstock (I used watercolor paper) + 2 rubber mats + B plate...

NOTE: every machine is slightly different, so practice before and decide weather you need 2 rubber mats or not or even the metal adapter...

run through the machine and the result is an embossed image ...
I sponged over it with green, blue an brown inks

REMARK: The emboss paper has a less raised area than with embossing with a regular plastic embossing folders, but it is good to know that you can use your stencils too for this...it gives another use to your regular stencils...\

I created this window card ...perferct  for a masculine birthday, where I used the new released stamps from Memory Box from the holiday 2014 collection

pin it:

and I used the technique of dry embossing on the front of the card
paired with a "patina" look technique for the raised areas...

step by step
1- dry emboss with the stencil your watercolor paper
(I used watercolor, because the result was better than with regular cardstock)

2- for Patina look:
-sponged ink colors (blue, green and brown) on top to make the raised areas pop even more...
-add versamark ink on some spot over the raised areas
- sprinkle some gold embossing powder, shake excess
- heat set with heat gun
the result is an old looking patina (photo below)

3- cut an oval window on 2 papers, the card itself (that I sponged in blue ink)
 and on the embossed patina paper.
Attach this later to the card

4- add (in white) holy die branch to the front (new die from MB from The 2014 holiday collection),
ribbon and buttons to finish the card

5- for the inside: mask the areas that you want to sponge.
first, place an oval shape paper on the center of the card...
you will be working on the outer space of your card.

I used the oval from the window that I cut earlier as a mask and distress/sponge  all the card with blues, greens and browns inks (outer space)
stamp  sentiment bottom corner...
remove this oval mask

place a paper with an oval opening, use it as a mask,
now you are working on the center area, which is white ... distress with inks...
stamp does and cattails
remove this second outer mask...
add brown dots with a fine point marker around the oval to define that area

6- on the center oval; I stamped several does, by masking the first one then added some grass.
remember your outer mask is in place ...when done stamping remove mask.

and some other dies to decorate the corners...and that's it...
lots of masking...
A last view...
