Faux Embossed Aluminum & Alcohol Ink - Alternate Technique #3

I am so excited about this final alternative to the punchie/foil/AI technique.... I think most everyone will be able to use this technique AND it opens up a world of possibilities!

What do I mean about a world of possibilities ~ well, instead of punchies, die-cuts or embossing it uses STAMPS and embossing powder for the image!!! Just think of the stamps in your collection ~ each and every one of them can become an embossed, alcohol inked image!!!

  2. Wow - this is fabulous! I've have the metal time - been wanting to do something with it for a while - I never imaged that I could emboss underneath it - thanks for sharing this inspiration!

  4. Wow that is so cool! Now I'll grab one of those rolls of metal tape next time I see it! Don't know why I didn't think to use it for scrapbooking myself!
