Distressed Embossing

Greetings!

I was looking online for an interesting technique that I haven't done in a while and decided to settle on the Distressed Embossing technique that I found and now that my cards have been completed, I cannot find the website any more.  (I hate it when that happens) Rest assured, though when I come across the site again, I'll update it here so the original author can get the recognition she deserves.

For the time being, here are the 3 variations I did.

After embossing a piece of Stampin' Up! Designer Paper with a chosen embossing folder, with a sanding block I began to lightly rub the sanding block along the raised-up images, which sanded off any color that was once on the Designer paper and left the core of the cardstock, which was white.  

Please forgive the lack of colors to show through...  the background on the first card was teal, the second card is a dark denim background, and the third one is a graple kind of purple color with the cardstock of Wisteria Wonder.  For some reason none of these colors shown through.

Thanks for stopping by and please remember to share your comments. 

 Blessings and inky hugs;
