Bisque Pottery - A New Technique!

Today I am sitting around with my foot propped up because I twisted my ankle in our driveway this past weekend.  So I took the opportunity to participate in the Try A New Technique Challenge - TLC361 -  over at Splitcoaststampers.  I had to modify the technique because I don't have any embossing folders...so here is my card and the technique I used!

The technique is called Bisque Pottery Technique.  You were to ink up the negative side of the embossing folder with a neutral ink and then emboss.  Since I have no embossing folders I used my Spellbinders Impressabilities™ for this technique.  I started with a base of Neenah Solar Crest White #110 for my base and Simply Smooth White for everything else.   I inked up the Flower Silhouette Impressabilities using Versamark Embossing Ink and ran it thru my Grand Calibur using the embossing sandwich.  Then I sprinkled on clear embossing powder and heat set it.  After it cooled, I cut/embossed the panel using Labels Seventeen die #5 and inked the whole thing using Antique Linen Distress Ink.  The embossed parts resisted the ink leaving the cool look you see!  Then I cut/embossed a frame using Lattice Rectangles #3 and Labels Seventeen #2.  I inked all the edges on this frame, too.  I printed out my sentiment on my computer and cut/embossed it using Ribbon Banners die template.  As you can see, everything got inked really good - which is always fun!!  Plus I added a seam binding ribbon to complete the card.  Hopefully this does look like Bisque Pottery, if you don't think so I just hope you think its pretty!!

Uh-oh!! Sorry about the ankle. But at least being a papercrafter, you can sit and still get some enjoyment without being bored. Love your beautiful card and the technique you used.
