Today I'm using one of the stamps from the Welcome Home set to do a comparison between black and white embossing. I've stamped and heat set both images then coloured them with watercolour paints. It's amazing what a difference the colour of the line work makes to the finished piece.
I personally prefer the black embossing powder, I think it works better with the subject matter and gives an earthy, solid feel.

I would have to agree with you. I prefer the black too. It's amazing how different that the two different options look though.
ReplyDeleteSo different and beautiful colored, my favorite is also the black one!

I LOVE this stamp Beccy and agree the black certainly has the edge.

Not only a lovely, feels-good-to-be-home image, but a gorgeous card, Beccy! The differences in the BW details is always fun - and I learn in the process about techniques, too. Thanks for sharing! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, I agree with you. xoxo
