Faux Embossing
Hmmm – what does THAT conjure up? Faux Embossing. Gina showed us this technique at our last Central Oregon Demonstrators meeting and it was beautiful. So I copied her card – well with a different stamp set, but pretty much the same! LOVE it
It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but the "faux" part is a bit of a shadow which really makes the image stand out!
Here's a closer picture
Can you see the "shadow" just a smidgen to the right of the white image? That's Faux Embossing!!
Love the effect! And don't you just LOVE that butterfly – SO delicate – it's from the Backyard Basics stamp set …..AND….there are coordinating framelits – so I didnt' have to cut it out!! YIPPEE!!

This is a very simple technique, but SO effective.
First stamp your image in White Craft Ink. Then, using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig (101049, page 197) stamp the image on your imaging sheet and then line it right on top of the craft image. Then move it over just a smidgen. Remove the imaging sheet and stamp. See how easy that was?
I did both the image and the butterfly! Try it – I'm SURE will love it. I suggest using any color (except black or white) of card stock and use the matching ink!
Here's one more card using Coastal Cabana – it's not as vibrant but still love the effect
