Faux Embossing Technique

A fun and easy way to create an embossed look to your cards without using an embossing folder! Start with a piece of cardstock in the color of your choice. Select a big, bold stamp (florals work great) and an ink (dye inks work great!) that is the same or close to the color of your cardstock, but one shade darker. Watch the video to see how to “offset” the cardstock after the initial stamping. Then restamp the same image using white pigment ink. The effect is stunning, and it will look as if the image is jumping off the page. #ginakdesigns
