 Today, I'm sharing a card for Paper Rose. 

I stamped and coloured the Teddy Travels Clear Stamp with Copic markers, and fussy cut the image. I stenciled the Stacked Squares onto a white card base with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Mandala stamp set, and adhered the image with foam tape.

 Today, I'm using another die set from the recent Peacock Paradise release from Spellbinders. (The metallic navy blue cardstock is from my stash, I don't know where it came from, I'm sorry!) I added some gold wax from @heroarts to the raised parts of the embossed background pattern for some extra detail.

Black out technique for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 Today, I'm sharing a card using the blackout technique for Paper Rose Studio.

I took a piece of white cardstock and embossed it with the Leafy Garden 3D embossing folder. On the concave side (with the leaves pressed into it), I added coloured ink with blending brushes to the leaves. I then took a black ink pad and swiped it over the entire panel, which added black to the portions what were not concave. 

I cut the panel down, added it to a top folding white card base, and added a die cut and ink blended sentiment.
