You have to try this! Take a piece of Patterns Designer Paper, the piece that has no pattern on one side, it is a solid color, Kraft in this case. Run it through your big shot and the texturz plate of your choice. When it emerges, take your sanding block to it and begin to sand off the top layer of the embossed surface. It reveals the white core of the paper! It is super easy! Here is the card I created with my sanded piece. I just added some fun accessories, taffeta ribbon, pretties flowers and pearls, paper piercing and a glittered bird cut from the Birds and Blooms Sizzlits die! Here is a close up:
Okay, so right now, stop blurffing and go try this. What, you don't have your texturz plates, well now you know what you are getting on your next Stampin' Up! order. Happy Stampin' Carrie
I love it! What a great technique! Thanks for sharing! =)
