This technique involves trapping ink color under clear heat embossing then adding a dark ink all over. What your left with is a colorful design in high contrast to the background. Let me walk you through the process!
First, I took the new Fantasy Flourish stencil and placed it on top of a white piece of cardstock. You can tape everything down to your work surface to keep the stencil and cardstock in place. I used a grip mat.
I applied Distress Inks diagonally in a rainbow pattern. Then, I applied clear embossing ink on top of the Distress Ink.
This is the panel after I clear heat embossed. You could stop here, add a sentiment, attach to a card base and be done. But now, it's time for the magic!
Here is the panel after I applied dark navy ink to the entire panel. The embossed area resists the ink. Just wipe the ink off of your design and you have a dramatic panel, very different from the white background! Traditionally, you do this with black, but I chose dark navy. You can do this technique with any dark ink.
