A wonderful technique, kind of a reverse inking. The de-bossed side of the card is coloured in the hollows, then a direct-to-paper swiping of black ink on the high bits. It takes a bit of time and care but gives a super result. I used Distress Inks for all the inking, matted onto gold, then onto a black card base. Stamped gold embossed sentiment popped up on foam tape. Tim Holtz Acorns 3D EF.
Great technique and result-love the acorn embossing folder.
