New Technique (for me anyways!)

Here is the project I was working on today. Sunday I am doing a chipboard demonstration at my SU group meeting for demonstrators. I found this technique in a older magazine. What is it? Reverse Embossing. And it's easy too! 
The basics:
I stamped the bird (Always SU Set) on to the chipboard with versamark. Then, I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder (make sure the image is really embossed well!) Next, I took the embossed image and rubbed it directly on a Rose Stamp pad. I ended up rubbing pretty hard and for about 3-4 minutes to get the whole chipboard covered. After covering the chipboard in Rose Red, I took a tissue and wiped off the excess ink that was on the white embossed bird. The rest of the card is pretty easy. I used SCS Sketch 165, which is the sketch for this week. 

Thanks for looking!
