“Feeling Blue” is this week’s challenge over at One Layer Wednesday.
Blue is a great color. “Blue” is my maiden name, so I’ve always been kind of partial to blue!
For this challenge, I decided to try the Faux Tearing technique.
This technique is very simple to do. Just tear the edge of a piece of copy paper and lay it over your glossy white card base. Brayer on color above or below the tear. For this card, I first embossed images from Circle Circus and Delicate Doilies using white embossing powder. Then I brayered on my blue color, Marina Mist, for an emboss resist technique. Buff with a paper towel, and you are done!
Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Circle Circus, Delicate Doilies, Perfectly Penned
Ink: Marina Mist, Versamark
Paper: Glossy White
Accessories: brayer, copy paper, heat tool, white embossing powder

Emboss resist is such a great technique and it looks especially good here with crisp white and blue.

Your white embossing looks great! I still have trouble when I’m embossing. Even with the powder, I still tend to get the stuff everywhere!
Beautiful Card. Those doilies remind me of snow flakes falling to the fluffy snow.
How pretty – reminds me of snow, but not really – love the brayering, it always results in such rich colours!
Love the card and love the color.
