The Blackout Technique and Solar Paste!

This is probably a current favorite technique with a lot of people. It's pretty easy to do, I've done it before with some backgrounds HERE and even some patterned paper HERE.

I've had the Simon Hurley/Ranger Solar Pastes for almost a year and a half. I went to use them recently and found the pink one had dried up. There was very little left in the jar and I didn't cover it with Press and Seal Saran Wrap. My mistake. But pastes are meant to be used, and with so much air in the jar it's hard to stay useable. So I pulled the other jars out and started applying the pastes on black cardstock. I know the look good embossed so I figured as long as I applied them onto paper, I could take my time using them.

I used the gorgeous embossing folder from the Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula. You can see it all HERE.

I remembered the blackout technique and decided to give it a try with this paper. I have a video on this below.

All I did was use the embossing folder with the raised images, meaning that after running it through my diecut machine it would push the image into the paper. I then took a black Archival Ink Pad and rubbed it over the top ot fhe paper. It looks pretty cool.

Listed below are the supplies I used. It would be so helpful to me if you would use my links. If you make any purchase using my link, I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you!! I really appreciate those that use my links.
